8/29/2022. Twin City and Salt Lake City Utah

We spent two nights in Twin City Utah checking out the town.  Twin City is an interesting town located along the Snake River.  It is also the launch site of Evil Knievel’s unsuccessful jump of the Snake River Canyon.  The pictures below show the ramp and the cement footers used to support the rest of the jump structure.  As it turns out Evil Knievel’s team determined that he could not make the jump on a Motorcycle so they built a rocket cycle with parachute to try the jump.  He never made it across the canyon and the parachute deployed.  


Also below is a picture the Perrine Memorial bridge which crosses the Snake River.  You can legally Base Jump off the top which is 486’ above the Snake River.  It is the 8th highest bridge in the United States.

  1. Hi Guys! Good to see you both, your both looking good! Beautiful scenery with waterfalls in the background. That Evel Kenievel what a guy, whatever became of him? Wow you guys are in Utah how wonderful. We were suppose to be in Utah now too, but things happened. Starting to get use to the desert a little, as Sandy mentioned she's kind of tired seeing desert scenes. Continue to have fun, our paths gotta cross one of these times. 😊
