The rim, Perrine Bridge, Shoshone Falls, and agricultural roads each reveal a different scale of the Magic Valley and should not be collapsed into one generic route. Plan the first leg around the arrival corridor and final neighborhood, using MapQuest Twin Falls as the local route reference in Idaho.
