we're heading to one of Nature's Most all inspiring spectacles Niagara Falls there awful too many people after about a 20 minute drive and finding a rare to find parking spot in Niagra Fall State Park the Roar of the river flow and waterfalls was pretty loud it is a powerful reminder of the 41 m739 176 gallons of water that rush over the waterfall every single minute it's hard to imagine just how much that is but as we stand at the edge of the viewing area we can see and he the sheer volume of water falling over the cliff creating a heavy Mist that creates rainbows in the the sunlight every year Niagara Falls attracts over 14 million visitors from all over the globe drawn by its beauty and power as we navigate through the park we join other families couples and solo travelers all sharing in The Wonder of this natural Marvel at Niagara Fall State Park visitors with difficulty walking can fully enjoy the beauty and attractions with the convenience of the trolley tour the trolley operates on a scenic route that connects key points of interest throughout the park making it easy to explore without the need for long walks or navigating steep paths be aware due to the popularity of the trolley the they regularly reach capacity and service is not always available you may have to wait in long lines waiting for an empty seat and if you're with a large group you most likely will have to divide up into different groups there are made of the Mist areas Welcome Center aquarium terpin point three sisters Island and then lot three parking lot where you can get on or get off of the trolley and it was $3 a person to enjoy that benefit nor and I don't walk great distances very well I guess we've gotten to the age that walking is more of a struggle than it used to be I guess that's the breads that goes over to Goat Island pedestrian walk to Goat Island so that would make that go Island across the water and there's the falls in that direction lot of water falling over that all right people there go down there there's the of the made of the Mist madian side is red the US side is blue there's the US side of the falls from the Horseshoe Fall side there's Norma getting a picture of the falls well let me recre that she's getting her five thousandth picture of the falls there's the Canada side well you can't do Niagara Falls without riding the made of the Mist as we stood in the long waiting line for the ticket booth at the M of the Mist the side of the mighty Niagara Falls in the distance only Hoten our excitement we Shuffle forward admiring the vibrant blue and white uniforms of the crew we waited our turn to travel down the 200t elevator that is the only way down to the tour booat finally it was our turn we stepped into the large elevator but full of others wanting to see the falls from this perspective we made our way to the boats where crew members handed out blue ponchos to keep us dry from the inevitable splashes and clicked to their counter to register how many people can get on one boat the boats were running throughout the day typically about 10 boats making the journey every hour as we boarded I couldn't but know noticed the security and staff were very well trained and good at what they did to make the tour exciting but safe the duration of each tour was around 20 minutes but it felt like a Timeless moment as we drifted toward the Thundering Falls with the Roar of the water echoing in our ears we knew this would be an experience would cherish forever [Music] AED to the city street we began to feel the [Music] fire We rise like tall buildings as the chemicals they take us higher the night's young it it's just begun that she puts a hand in we want to chase the to dance to the light pull down from the sky just two hearts running World never sleep never stop as we sh from the top we going to we going to [Music] be all right just crank it up here we [Music] go this is the adult version of a wet ride at Disneyland so oh oh after doing some shopping checking the sights and sounds from the American side we had hoped to venture over to Canada to find a different perspective however the amount of mist that was blowing up out of the waterfalls into the sky made its own thunderstorm cloud and we got soaked for those of you who do have a chance make your way over the the Rainbow Bridge is a lovely arching structure that spans the Niagara River the bridge is an easy walk we can see the Mist Rising high above the Falls creating a rainbow that lives up to its name crossing the bridge is seamless and once you arrive in Canada they treat you with stunning views of the Horseshoe Falls the experience is magical the thundering sound of the water and the vibrant colors and landscape and the excitement of everyone coming together to create their own Unforgettable memories as we wrap up our day we reflect on the power and beauty of niagar Falls feeling fortunate to have experienced it firsthand all while enjoying the Comforts of our RV at the Grand Island KOA we're able to get to eat at an Olive Garden close by and we did some laundry at the campground before it was time to say goodbye it's a perfect blend of Adventure sightseeing and the beauty and power of nature and the joy of traveling in our motor home
