After a couple of wonderful days visiting with family, we are back on the road. It had been many years since our last visit to Niagara Falls, so we took the opportunity to stop here after our visit with Alex, Jenna and Grayson. The attraction itself is impressive and the state park facility around it make it an enjoyable visit. We were able to park the RV and car in an RV lot within walking distance (.7 mile) of the falls, and we took the elevator to the observation deck for the American falls. While they look large from a distance (like the observation deck), they look enormous when you walk to the stairways near the falls. Close up, you feel the thundering water and spray. Niagara Falls is actually comprised of 3 falls: the American, Bridal Veil, and Horseshoe (Canadian) Falls. Together they have the largest volume of any waterfalls other than Victoria Falls in Africa. The rapids above the falls are really impressive as well, moving at 25 mph.
On the way to our next nightly stop in Erie, PA, we had the distinct displeasure of driving some of the worst interstate roads we've seen: I90 west of Niagara, NY. What a bone-rattling experience!
