Niagara Falls 2024 - We walked to the U.S.

It was a lot of walking but well worth it! The first time either of us has done anything like this and I would totally do it again! Here are a few images from the adventure:

























Back in Canada now and Clifton Hill is packed!


Dinner at the Skylon Tower




Observation deck




We walked through Fallsview Casino




Can't wait to drive across next time and go exploring in Buffalo, NY.

It truly was! I'm glad the idea came to mind before the area gets even busier in July - August. Also, it'll be much hotter but thankfully there was no rain either.

The pictures don't do it justice. It was so refreshing to be in an actual park away from the chaotic areas like Clifton Hill on the Canadian side.

Next time we'll have to plan for this, for sure. This will be the best method to explore more of the aforementioned park and I can totally see why you guys go cyclist there!

Glad you enjoyed them! Just a day trip this time around but I'll have to check out the local hotels on the U.S. side for an extended stay.

Thanks! Hopefully you'll have the chance to visit one day. This is easily one of my favourite watches as it checks all the boxes for me so to speak.

Fantastic pictures and it looks like you had absolutely perfect weather

Living in the general area, I think we sometimes forget how special a place it is

Agreed, up until a few years ago I took for granted that we're so close to it. Each visit over the past few years has been unique, with this instance being the most interesting thus far.

That looks terrific.
Though I'm a surprised by the pics from the Canada side.
Thought all the buildings up there were either log cabins or igloos.
