Cool, arent they?
Niagara Falls consists of two regions: The Horseshoe Falls and the American & Bridal Veil Falls. The Horseshoe Falls are located on the Canadian side whereas the American Falls face the United States. These two are separated by the Goat Island. The Horseshoe Falls are 177 feet high. Actually the real falls are only 70 feet high, but the presence of rocks underneath heightens the effect.
The width of the Horseshoe Falls is about 2600 feet. Its counterpart, the American and Bridal Veil Falls combined is 1060 feet wide. Luna Island divides the American and Bridal Veil Falls. The actual amount of water varies due to the presence of two hydroelectric plants that pull the waters of the Niagara River into their reservoirs. Their siphoning, greatly affects the flow of water over the cliff.
Niagara Falls … probably the best known address in the world. Of course I am biased. For over 20 years I have lived in the ultimate tourist destination. The place where water has continually rushed over the rocks and into the gorge for 12,000+ years. The honeymoon capital of the world and one of the most popular tourist destination in the world.
This blog is about Niagara Falls with some discussion about the surrounding area from Toronto just North of us, to Buffalo to the South. It is not a commercial pitch, although I certainly will tell you about things you can see and do here, but instead the view from the easy chair.
If you are planning a visit, I hope that I can make it a more worthwhile visit by helping you get around and finding the things that will really interest you, above the beyone the incredible roar of the cascading waters of Niagara Falls.
Welcome!
