TWIN FALLS, ID – The Bruneau Canyon Overlook is undergoing a facelift as construction crews begin work to create an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible pathway and install improved safety railing along the canyon rim.

This is the first phase of construction, and is expected to finish in November. Visitors to the site can expect to experience noise and disturbance activities as these improvements are installed. Once complete, the Bruneau Overlook improvement project will boast interpretation panels, restroom facilities, a paved pathway and increased safety measures along the canyon rim.
