Evel Knievel's Snake River Canyon Jump Site, Twin Falls, Idaho
View Original Description
Snake River Canyon is a canyon formed by the Snake River in the Magic Valley region of southern Idaho. The canyon is well known as the site of an unsuccessful 1974 attempt by Evel Knievel to jump across it in the Skycycle X-2 rocket. The dirt ramp built for that jump is still there and remains a tourist attraction.
On September 16, 2016, stuntman Eddie Braun successfully jumped the canyon using technology similar to that used by Evel Knievel 42 years previously.
