Idaho Falls is home to about 65,000 people, making it the second largest city in Idaho (Boise is much larger).  Its name derives from a waterfall in the Snake River, which flows through the city.  A retaining wall for a hydroelectric power plant changed the landscape of the river, but it remains a pretty sight.
