Upper Mesa Falls

Upper Mesa Falls

Photo by Ben Prepelka

The Mesa Falls Scenic Byway that parallels Henry's Fork of the Snake River, affords a look at two of the last undisturbed waterfalls; falls not being used for irrigation or hydroelectric projects. The Upper and Lower Mesa Falls area is surrounded by the Targhee National Forest. Nestled among large lodgepole pines, this site offers spectacular views of two beautiful and very impressive waterfalls that plunge 114 and 85 feet.
The Mesa Falls area is located in southeastern Idaho, just west of the Grand Teton Mountain Range.
