Niagara Falls at Night

After dinner, we rode the 175 ft ferris wheel and Trey captured the following sights.  Meanwhile, I was holding on for dear life!

Casino, Hilton (our hotel) and Skylon Tower skyline from atop the ferris wheel

American Falls from atop the ferris wheel

Horseshoe Falls from atop the ferris wheel

Each evening from 8:30pm to midnight, the falls are alive with color

Although our trip to Niagara Falls went quickly, we thoroughly enjoyed a break from our busy lives.  We were "unplugged" for a couple days too which was amazing! 

A beautiful and memorable trip--thanks Trey :)!

Niagara Falls, Ontario: Day 2

Looking down Murray Street at the American Falls

Journey Behind the Falls:  Created in the late 1800s and updated throughout the years is a heart pounding way to experience Horseshoe Falls.  An elevator transports guests deep into the cavern where "scenic tunnels" extend into the rock and allow for 3 observations underneath the falls.  The above picture was taken from the first observation area.

The walkway that follows the Niagara River hovers over the brink of the falls.  It's an awesome feeling to be standing on the edge.
