We had a great time in the Niagara Falls area. The first day we were there, we went over to see the falls during the day. As a kid, I remember going to Niagara Falls, but there were several things that I didn’t remember. First off, I didn’t remember that there are more than one fall. The most well known is the Horseshoe Fall, but there is also the Bridal Veil Falls and the American Falls. Below are pictures of the Horseshoe Falls.
I also didn’t remember how close you can get to the falls.
The Bridal and American falls are just as beautiful. In several of the pictures, you can see people on one of the tours. They have their yellow ponchos on and are getting soaking wet on the boardwalks and around the falls. Looks like fun, but not for me. I’ll stay at the top nice and dry, thank you!
We had some intel that at night time, they light up the falls and there are also fireworks, so back to the falls at night to see more beauty.
It was just beautiful to see the contrast of the falls during the day and at night. Here are pictures of the Skylon Tower on the Canadian side both during the day and in the evening.
So much water and beauty, but now it’s time to head west!
It’s so beautiful there! We took the kids on the Maiden of the Mist many years ago when we were camping in the area. That was a lot of fun and as close as I needed to be to the falls! We’ve actually been back a few times. It’s such a pretty areas with a lot to do.
After we left Wyoming, we had several more National Parks on our list.
Next up was Rocky Mountain National park in Colorado. We stayed just outside of the park so we had some beautiful views. As we traveled on the park roads, we saw this guy.
What was even more amazing was later that evening, we saw this, in our campground just steps from Dash.
