I.B. Perrine Memorial Bridge

I.B. Perrine Memorial Bridge 

Named after the "founding father" of Twin Falls, Idaho (Ira Burton Perrine), the I. B. Perrine Memorial Bridge links the cities Twin Falls and Jerome spanning 1,500 feet across the Snake River Canyon.  At an elevation of 486 feet above the Snake River, walkways on top and just below the bridge on both the east and west sides give tourists spectacular views of the river, the canyon, hiking trails and golf courses.  Built in 1976, this truss arch bridge replaced the original bridge of 1927 and is the only bridge in the United States where B.A.S.E. jumping is legal 365 days a year.
