Wednesday was a beautiful day in New York and we spent the whole day at Niagara Falls! We have both been to the falls on different occasions but we both did the Canadian side. This time we did the American side and had so much fun.
We got experience the force and might of the Niagara River as it cascaded over the falls because we played "tourist" to the hilt. We went right up to Horseshoe Falls (Canadian) in the Maid of the Mist boat and glad for the plastic ponchos they provided. We walked along the edge and rode the trolley to Goat Island where we got real close to the edge and saw the American Rapids.
After lunch, we donned another plastic poncho and rubber sandals and braved the walk to the bottom of Bridal Veil Fall where you go on the hurricane deck at the base of the fall. We got totally soaked but again we were thankful for the poncho and sandals.
We did venture to the Canadian side but only drove around for an hour or so. It was beautiful along the gorge road, but parking was at a premium and we wanted to get back to the American side to see the Aquarium and the falls at night - they light them up.
It was a wonderful experience and glad for the perfect weather! It rained the next day while driving through Rochester, Syracuse and as we set up camp in Watertown, NY.
Next stop - the Adirondack mountains.
