After getting up early, around 6:30 a.m., we dressed and drove to Niagara Falls. We were told that traffic could be heavy, but we did not expect it to be so terrible. It reminded me of traffic in the San Francisco Bay area. Most lanes were barely moving. Since we had 3 people in our car, we could use the HOV lane and made better progress.
We finally reached Niagara Falls around 9:00 a.m., but since we were hungry, we decided to stop by Abby's for breakfast. Alex ordered some pancakes, but they were so large that he barely finished one.
After our extensive breakfast, we reached Niagara Falls. We parked at a nearby parking lot ($20/day) and walked to Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side. The falls were truly spectacular, and the vast mist was rising up.
We saw Maid of the Mist boats from the American side, and Hornblower Niagara cruises from the Canadian side visit the falls. The falls are truly spectacular and the wonder of the world.
Next, we walked to the smaller but still imposing American Falls.
We decided to try the Hornblower cruise to the Falls on the Canadian side, as it would take too long to get the Maiden of the Mist on the American side.
We got very close to the American and Horseshoe Falls and got terribly soaked! However, it was a lot of fun!
We also decided to see the falls from the nearby Skylon Tower to the waterfalls from a high point of view.
Here is yours truly.
Here is a beautiful view of American Falls from the Skylon Tower.
And, here is a gorgeous view of Horseshoe Falls.
We saw a beautiful rainbow over the falls on the way back to our car.
