Skylon lookout tower. NIAGARA FALLS When we booked the holiday to Toronto and realised that we would be able to visit Niagara Falls, something we all looked forward to. I must admit that before we did some research on the web I imagined that The Falls were located in a rather deserted part of the countryside and also that they would be somewhat higher than they actually are. I actual fact they are now surrounded by a very built-up and commercialised area, spawned, of course, by the magnetic attraction of The Falls. There are two towns of Niagara Falls, the Canadian Niagara Falls and, just across the river, the American town of Niagara Falls. There are two main waterfalls, the most impressive of which is the Horseshoe Falls which lie on Canadian territory. The other falls are the America Falls, which are on American territory, these are just as beautiful but a little smaller than the Canadian Horseshoe Falls. By far the best views of both waterfalls is to be seen from the Canadian side of the river. There is a bridge that links the USA and Canada at Niagara Falls, but to avoid customs controls the USA has built a viewing platform part way across the river for United States citizens to get a better view of The Falls. |
