Niagara Falls

From the Canada Side

Thank you, Becky for suggesting we stay at the Hilton on the Canadian side of the Falls - it was worth the hassle of getting passports for the kids. Our room had floor to ceiling view of all three falls. the buildings in the photo are in New York.

Gorgeous views but, oh man, was it hot and humid.

The Falls from the U.S. Side

The U.S. side of the falls is surrounded by a State park with walking paths leading to spectacular views looking over each of the falls - some of them quite wet. It was here that we could feel the power and size of each. Because of the heat wave during our visit, we got up really early - and almost had the views to ourselves for a bit. It was mesmerizing and in a couple spots we just sat and watched.

Our hotel is one of the buildings in the background.

The Storm

Being from California, we don't see much crazy weather. Our last evening, we were sitting in a restaurant when we noticed people on the street staring up at the sky. This is what we saw when we joined them. We made it back to our hotel minutes before a huge storm hit.
