Quality of Life in Southern Idaho

Named one of America's Best Places to Live by Livability.com

Twin Falls and the South-central Idaho area are not for couch potatoes. The diverse outdoor recreation opportunities range from mountains to hot springs, state parks to national forests, and just about everything in between. Daredevils come to BASE jump into the Snake River Canyon, while whitewater rafting, fishing, hiking and biking are just a few of the activities enjoyed by residents in the region that invented the staycation. Twin Falls also boasts a thriving agriculture-based economy, represented by both global corporations and small family farms, along with a well-supported school district and community college.
