Niagara Falls Canadian Side

Time to see the Canadian Side of Niagara Falls.  This sign was at the exit as we left our campground.  Good advice! 

We drove over the Rainbow Bridge and had an easy passage through customs.  You immediately turn off the bridge and follow the river along to a parking area.  And, when you walk to the edge, this is what you see.

Again, no zoom! We are right at the edge.

There are a number of abandoned buildings like this one along the river, former power plants that are no longer being used.  This one is just above the falls.

We are looking at Niagara River above the falls, and the water cascading over it.

This is the view just below me.

A little farther away, you can see the curve of the horseshoe.  You would never know that behind me is all of these large hotels, etc.

It is raining really hard, so it is hard to separate out the mist from the rain.

And this is American Falls, as viewed from the Canadian Side.  You can see why it is not  as picturesque.  To the right, there is a little rock wall break in the falls, and then the smaller area is called Bridal Veil falls.  So, they say there are three falls.  And the tall building to the left is a Seneca Casino.  The Indians get their revenge by spoiling the view of one of the most spectacular sights in the US!

We were soaked to the core, but it let up just enough to get this picture.

This really is just the most amazing sight.  Here I am a little river up from where the Horseshoe Falls plunges over.  I don't know how you could get any more up close and personal!
