I had a business meeting in Lockport, NY which is about 1/2 hour from Niagara Falls, so I decided to take my Wife and daughter along and go and see the falls while I was up there. We arrived at the hotel around midnight after a grueling 7 hour drive with the last hour in a rain storm.
We spent the following day walking around the US side of the falls. The firts thing you see is the Niagara River and the American Rapids

We then crossed over the bridge leading into the state park.

In the distance you can see the top of the American Falls and beyond is the Canadian skyline.

The water looks so inviting like a great place to go swimming if it weren't for the 200' drop and certain death only a few hundred yards away.

Here we got our first look at the American Falls. It really is a sight to see and the thundering of the water makes it that much more spectacular.

My daughter and her friend enjoying Bridal Vial Falls, and just below are all the people getting wet. On sunny days there is always a rainbow.

We never made it down there sadly, there was a long line and not everyone wanted to get soaked.

A short 5 minute walk and we made it to the famous Horseshoe Falls. The thunderous roar of these falls was even more amazing.

I will leave you with a fun fact: All of the water leaving the Grate Lakes goes over these falls that amounts to over 750,000 gallons of water flowing over the falls every second. The Great Lakes contain 20 percent of the entire planets supply of fresh surface water!
I would highly recommend a visit to Niagara Falls, just be sure to bring your passport, so you can see the view from Canada.
I've never been to Niagra Falls before.
It looks absolutely incredible.
I must go one day
I have lived in NY my whole life, and have yet to to visit Niagara Falls. Your post has reminded me that I really should get up there at some point. You got some really beautiful shots of the falls! :)
Just make sure you have your passport so you can get into Canada. They have the best view.
must be very impressive to see that in real...
Although the photos will never transmit the same sensation of being present in a place, they look spectacular; But I think the Iguazo falls are more spectacular, it is in the triple border of Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay, if you have the fortune of being able to visit it you will not regret it, it is the most impressive thing I have seen in my life
I just looked them up, they look amazing. If I ever get the chance I will surely go.
It's always spectacular to see the falls
