The Evel Knievel monument is parallel behind the sign honoring I.B. Petrine, which faces the monument and is alongside the river.

Evel Knievel's Snake River Jump Monument

Absolutely breathtaking! Monument of Evil Knievel and the bridge was definitely worth the stop. Places to relax on the grass areas, and don't forget to walk under the bridge to listen to the traffic.

Ramp.

Evel Knievel's Snake River Jump Monument

The jump ramp. Really cool to be close to a bit of history from the early 1970s, when Knievel was a household name.

Evel Knievel's Snake River Jump Monument

Most of this area is on private land, so when you turn down the road toward the jump be on the lookout for a lefthand turn in front of the waterfall. This will take you on a gravel road directly to the jump area.
