A dear friend of mine from West Virginia, came up to visit us, and had wish to see Niagara Falls. She had never been here before. On our return to here to Niagara Falls, we covered areas that we did not get to in July. We included a couple of activities that would give views of all the Falls. Had a great time. The grandchildren greatly enjoyed the Maid of the Mist boat ride, as well as the Cave of the Winds.

This is a moderate to difficult hike. Give yourself at least 2 hours. You will be walking the stream bed most completely all the way. Use caution as it is slippery and dangerous in spots.
