It’s no secret that the Perrine Bridge in Twin Falls, Idaho, is one of the most iconic bridges in the world. People travel from all around the globe to see it and to BASE Jump off of it.

The combination of the architecture of the bridge and the view of the Snake River Canyon winding beneath it is a sight you can’t get anywhere else. That doesn’t mean other bridges aren’t cool, but the Perrine Bridge is bucket-list worthy.
