Niagara Falls, Ontario

If you haven't seen Niagara Falls, put it on your bucket list! Pictures don't do it justice, it's like trying to capture the feeling you get when you visit the Grand Canyon. This is The American Falls from the bus.

This is the Canadian or Horseshoe Falls from the bus. You can hear the roar from a long way away!

This is the cablecar that goes across the Niagara River at the whirlpool. The other side is also in Canada! What a beautiful trip across!

This is looking into the whirlpool. From 8 am to 12 midnight the whirlpool flows counter clockwise. From midnight to 8 am it flows clockwise. Pretty cool, eh?

Down river from the cable car.

Up river from the cable car. The rapids on this part of the river are Class VI rapids!

We went to the Journey Beneath the Falls and from a viewing stand we watched the Maid of the Mist go into the mist. The Maid of the Mist is the oldest continually operating tour at Niagara Falls. It has operated since the 1840s. This is the last year the Maid of the Mist will run! We were very glad to be on one of the last runs.

Howard and I beneath the Falls.

The Canadian Falls from the Maid of the Mist. We went clear up into the mist and it was so wet, I put my camera away for awhile!

The American Falls from the Maid of the Mist. They are beautiful too!

I took this from the top of the Falls looking over the Canadian Falls toward the American Falls. The water is traveling about 35 mph at this point.

This is our tour bus. It is an authentic London double decker bus and it was lots of fun to tour in!

We got to have dinner in the Skylon Tower. We arrived at 6:30 pm and didn't finish dinner until about 9 pm. The tower revolved around twice while we were eating and the Falls (which are lit up at night) changed colors many times. We thought it was cool when the American Falls were red, white, and blue! I tried taking pictures, but none of them turned out so we'll have to rely on memory!
