Niagara Falls, New York

We spent a little over a week in the Niagara Falls area, we stayed at the Elk's Lodge there. The people at the lodge were so nice, and there is a lot to do in the area, so we wanted to spend a little extra time and see more of the sites.
.
Of course, the most important and popular things to see is Niagara Falls State Park. We saw Niagara Falls about 10 years ago and we stayed on the Canadian side that time, so we decided to go to the American side on this trip. We took a tour trolley around the State Park and checked out the park from the trolley first. One of the stops was the Three Sister's Island, we walked over a bridge to the island and took these pictures there, this island is located just a little from the falls on the American side.

We went to the American Falls next, these pictures were taken there and you can see the Canadian side from these pictures, the Canadian falls is also known as the Horseshoe Falls. You can also see (if you look very close at the last two pictures) the boat that goes under the falls, we took this boat last time we came to Niagara Falls. It is called the Maid of The Mist, you get very wet, it is also a rough ride on that small boat, but it was fun and quite an experience, however, we decided that once was enough.

This is one of the most spectacular sights in the world. If you have been to Niagara Falls I am sure you agree, if not, and you get an opportunity to visit this wonderful place, you will never forget it. Niagara Falls is truly amazing.
