    We discovered the Perrine Bridge and the astoundingly beautiful Snake River Canyon by accident and were sure glad that we did. It is one of the loveliest areas that I have ever seen. We spent a great deal of time oohing and aahing at the view, walking across the bridge, and standing dumbfounded while watching the BASE jumpers glide off of the bridge and into the mouth of the canyon below. We missed by one day a world record being set as someone made more BASE jumps in a 24 hour period than ever before.
