The Gorgeous Niagara Falls

The Niagara Falls are located on the border of Ontario Province in Canada and New York state in the United States. The water flows from the great lakes, world’s largest fresh water system. It is one of the world’s most eye inspiring displays of the power of nature. The breath-taking view can be seen from the sky, from the river forming below or from within arm’s reach.  Full of fresh water and fresh air, it is one of the best wonders of Mother Nature. It is one of the most photographed spectacles in the world.

The Niagara River connects Lake Erie with Lake Ontario, but before it gets there, the water plunges down almost 170 feet in a straight drop. The volume of water that comes tumbling over the crest is overwhelming, almost 170,000 cubic meters of water.  Most people don’t realize this until they get there that there are 3 waterfalls, east of the American falls and the narrow Bridal Veil Falls.  To the west is the impressive Canadian Horseshoe falls, the widest and most powerful of them all.

Glide over the river or any of the vantage points to see the water fall into the depth below.  The resulting plume of mist is visible from miles away. To feel its spray, board the Maid of the Mist. This 30 minute cruise will give you an astonishing experience. If you wish to get close to the falls, embark on a Journey Behind The Fall.  You can see and hear the water rush past in front of you.  There are also facilities of providing raincoats for you to stand just meters from the fall. It’s a marvelous Nature experience.

After experiencing the falls, visit the Niagara Skywheel and nearby arcades.  Cross the rainbow bridge towards the American side, to see the Aquarium of Niagara. Staying on the Canadian side, you can enjoy the Niagara Botanical Gardens.  Visit Niagara on the lake, which is a few miles away. Visit this 19^th century village to browse boutique shops, play Golf or have Lunch.

Less than a 2 hour drive from Toronto, and only a taxi ride away from Buffalo Airport, getting to Niagara is easy. The accessibility and splendor makes it one of the most gorgeous sights in the world. It may be one of the most photographed splendor, but of course no picture captures the thrill you feel, and the roar you hear when you witness Niagara’s astonishing power. It’s an impression that would last a lifetime…..

Enjoy!
