The American Falls are separated from the tiny (comparatively speaking) Bridal Veil Falls (on the right) by a small island. The American Falls may not be as spectacular as Horseshoe Falls, but it definitely looks much more dangerous with those huge boulders at its base.
My sister-in-law's brother and sister went on a Maid of the Mist ride. My husband and I didn't (the wind was still too cold for us and we didn't relish the idea of getting soaked), but we did go behind the falls. This is the view from the first portal in the tunnel. In the farther portal, there is almost nothing to see except a solid white wall of water.
My favorite spot on the promenade was where I could watch the water go over the rock ledge and turn from dark to light green. I found it absolutely mesmerizing.
On our second trip to Niagara after the wedding, this time with my aunt and cousin, we were blessed with a rainbow at the falls. It was wonderful.
George, this post is especially for you.
