I hear
that the Canadian side is better than the American side. What does that
mean?
You get a better view from
Canada, that’s what that means. The Niagara River divides the US
(New York State) and Canada (Province of Ontario). The river is
winding, not straight, and the
Falls part is in a bend in the
river and they face away from the US. If you stand on the US side of
the Niagara River, you can see some of the waterfalls but it’s at an
angle. The falls face Canada,
so on the Canadian side you can see
them from top to bottom in all their glory. And you get to
ride
the Maid of the Mist, the boat that takes you right up inside the
Horseshoe Falls. You’ll get
drenched on the ride, but they give
you a groovy plastic poncho to protect yourself. If you want to
stay in the US, you can still have get the best view possible by
using the Prospect Point
Observation Tower, right next to the
Bridal Veil Falls where you’re so close you’ll get splashed
by
Niagara water. There’s also a 184-ft. glass elevator that takes you to the
bottom of the
Niagara Gorge.
