Having lived in Western NY for a number of years, we often made trips to Niagara Falls.  No matter how many times you go there, it is always the same reaction.  Nature at it's greatest.  Enjoy the sites!

The American Falls as seen from Niagara Falls, Canada.  




This is what is known as the Bridal Falls.  You take an elevator down, climb along the wooden stairs and get really close to the roaring waters.  Really thrilling.



Horseshoe Falls, are on the Canadian side.  Amazing site.




The Maid of the Mist.
You get to ride on these overcrowed boats and get up close and personal with the Falls.
This is a must if ever you go.



The International Bridge is a great way to walk across the Niagara River into Canada and see the Falls.  



While visiting Canada, I highly recommend you dine at the Skylon Tower which gives you a breathtaking view while it overlooks the Falls.

Hi Josh,

From a comfort standpoint the best time to visit the area would be late spring and summer. However, the winter ice covering of the falls and surrounding foliage is awesome especially at night when it is a blaze with lights.

Hi Julie,

Yes, I took all the pictures and with my first Digital as well. The new one, Point and Shoot, is much smaller with faster shutter time.

The best of the Season to you and yours.

Amazing! I have never been. Do you know how many visitors stop by every year? Is there a better time of year to go than other times. I hope to make it one day!

Hi Terrie,

From a comfortable weather standpoint the best time to visit the area would be late spring into early fall. I did comment earlier that winter holds a breath taking experience as well.

Estimated tourist visitation to the American and/or Canadian side of the Falls is said to be in the neighborhood of 12 million people per year.

The photos take my breath away so I can only imagine what it must be like to experience the falls in person.  I hope to some day.  You are so right, nature at its best.

Hi Terrie,

You are more then welcome. I didn't want to chance you not finding your way back to the post for the answers to your questions. Again, so pleased that you enjoyed the pictures. For the years that we lived in the area, we were repeat visitors on numerous occasions during the year. Each time we had visitors from out of town the Falls was one of the first places we took them.

Hi Donna,

Webster doesn't have a word to describe the experience. You have to be there! The memories are everlasting.
