Our first stop along the way was in Pendleton Oregon. According to the Oregon Encyclopedia (apparently that is a real thing), Pendleton’s motto is “The Real West” and it prides itself on it’s agriculture and ranching past. Its rodeo, one of the 10th largest in the world, is called the Pendleton Roundup. Not sure if it can compare to the Calgary Stampede Rodeo, but then I might be a little bit biased!
From Pendleton we made our way to Twin Falls Idaho. The landscape coming into Twin Falls was absolutely spectacular. Twin Falls is located on a broad plain at the south rim of the Snake River Canyon. Here’s an little trivia that might help if you are competing in a trivia contest. It was here, in Twin Falls, in 1974, that daredevil Evil Knievel attempted to jump the Snake River Canyon on a steam powered rocket. The attempt failed because of a design flaw in his mechanical parachute.
