Upper Mesa Falls is the show, 114 feet of the Henrys Fork going over a volcanic ledge, and the walk from the lot runs two tenths of a mile. Lower Mesa Falls drops 65 feet a short drive downstream, half a mile on foot. Both sit an easy hour north of Rexburg on the Mesa Falls Scenic Byway. Sheep Falls adds a flat 1.5 miles with the dog along, and Fall Creek Falls barely asks you out of the car. Seventeen falls land within range, with more Teton country east if you keep driving.
