Discover Winter from Canyon to Slopes: Twin Falls’ Best Local Adventures This Season
As winter settles into Southern Idaho and the Snake River Canyon shimmers with frost, adventure doesn’t take a back seat — it just changes shape. Twin Falls and the surrounding region are uniquely positioned to offer outdoor explorers two great worlds of adventure in one trip: canyon waters and snowy mountains.
Whether you’re local or just passing through, here’s a guide to enjoying winter with AWOL — from paddling in clear, crisp winter air to hitting the slopes with brand-new gear from our ski and snowboard rental fleet.
Canyon Adventures That Don’t Stop for Snow
Just because the thermometer dips doesn’t mean outdoor fun freezes up. In fact, the Snake River Canyon in winter delivers:
Peaceful winter river kayaking — With fewer crowds and a calm river surface, a late-season paddle under the Perrine Bridge feels almost meditative. Bundle up, grab a dry top, and savor the serenity.
Scenic boat tours with a winter twist — The cool air enhances visibility and canyon views, giving the normally vibrant summer river a quiet beauty all its own.
Zipline views against snow-dusted cliffs — If conditions allow, our zipline tour becomes even more dramatic when icy cliffs and pale winter skies contrast with the deep canyon walls.
Winter in the canyon isn’t about waiting for summer — it’s about experiencing the familiar from a fresh perspective.

Blend Both Worlds: A Winter Adventure Day
Here’s a local favorite itinerary that blends canyon calm with snowy exhilaration:
Early Canyon Paddle – Start your day with a peaceful kayak ride along the Snake River, taking in winter light and wildlife.
Lunch in Downtown Twin Falls – Warm up with local eats and coffee.
Gear Up at AWOL – Pick up skis or a snowboard just before heading for the hills.
Sunset Turns – Finish your day with fresh tracks and sunset views before returning to town.
For many, this seasonal dual experience is what makes winter in Southern Idaho so special.
