Hi Jackie! Thanks for picking me up this morning. I'm looking forward to today's trek to Niagra Falls! I lived grew up about an hour's drive from there. I spent a lot of time on both sides of the border, before the days of needing a passport to cross the countries line. Last time I was there was probably around 2005. Such a beautiful, relaxing place. I never went on the "Maid of the Mist" boats though. Cold and wet was never my thing. I'm glad to be aboard so make sure those coffee pots are running at full speed!

I grew up very close to Niagara Falls and visited the area often both on the American and Canadian sides. Here are some wonderful things to do as we roll through the area.
First we must stop and see the falls of course!

Unfortunately, at this time of year they look more like this...

For a better view I suggest heading to Prospect Point observation area where you can take in the beauty of both the American and Canadian sides of the falls.

For those of you who like to get wet, more liked soaked trust me, there are several things to do.
You can get upfront and personal by going almost into the waterfalls on the "Maid Of The Mist" boats.



Descend 175 feet into the awe-inspiring Niagara Gorge where wooden walkways will bring you to unbelievable "Hurricane Deck" where you are within feet of the crashing Bridal Veil Falls and surrounded by tropical storm like conditions-even on the calmest of days.

Thrill seekers can get soaked taking a jet boat ride on the Niagara River Gorge.

For a more relaxing Niagara Falls tour I suggest taking a tour of the over 300 year old, French-built Old Fort Niagara where the history of the Niagara area's is brought to life daily.

Take in the wonderful taste of the Niagara Wine Trail where some of the greatest wines of the northeast are produced.



To top off your day have a relaxing dinner and continue to take in the beautiful sights at either the Top Of The Falls Restaurant,

OR

Take a relaxing dinner cruise down the Niagara River on the Sunset River Cruises paddle boat and be entertained by local musicians.

OR

Sit down for a 3-course meal at a restaurant with panoramic views of Horseshoe Falls Watch the waterfalls light up in vivid colors, then take a cruise and take in prime views of Horseshoe Falls

I hope you all had a wonderful visit to New York State and Ontario, Canada where some of the most beautiful sites, sounds, and tastes come as a result of the ice age! This is Julie, your tour guide, wishing you a wonderful day!

JACKIE1-25-15 Thanks for picking me up, I have been there many times and it is just as breathtaking as the photographs but the SOUND is enough to completely blow your mind...well, MY mind. I, particularly love seeing it at night or in the depth of winter when it freezes over...beautiful place.
