A bit more of a hike compared to Sherman Falls but still quite easy and definitely not handicapped…read moreaccessible. There is a parking area out front and it is paid parking. I don't know how well enforced it is, but feel free to give your parking receipt to someone else when you leave. $8 seems a lot for a waterfall! I was here in July so nothing frozen and no fall colors but still magnificent. a 21 meter (64 foot) cascade roars away. The path through the woods is very well marked and easy to follow up it's clear that some folks think it's okay to wander off the path. I stuck to the route and the observation platform. Partly because I'm a rule follow and partly because I'm the clumsy sort that would fall and hurt myself. Leave only footprints, take only photos. And if you can pick up some of the litter that others have left behind, you're a rockstar! [Review 1460 of 2024 - 138 in Ontario - 22483 overall]

If you're looking to get out of the city for a short hike with the family, Tiffany Falls is not a…read morebad option. It's not too strenuous, so kids and seniors could also participate. We went from Sherman Falls to Tiffany Falls. The walk is only about 20 minutes along the Bruce Trail. Both Waterfalls look similar though they're so close, so you might as well check both out. If you go during a long weekend as I did, expect more people. More challenging to take a photo without people in your way. There's an upper deck with a better vantage point to take a picture with the waterfall in the background. If you don't mind getting your shoes wet, step in front of the falls for your optimal pic.

I featured our local Love Canal as an example for a high school presentation on the importance of…read moretaking care of our ecosystem (I also used the Chernobyl disaster, ha). Love Canal's history is thick and ugly. You can do a quick google search if you want to read all about it, but I'll give a summary: Originally intended to be the "perfect urban area," William T. Love purchased the land and quickly abandoned his project in the span of ten years. After that the area became a landfill. Hooker Chemical eventually comes along and purchases the land in 1947, and proceeds to dump all sorts of chemical waste into the canal. Something like 21,800 tons of chemicals would sit in the canal as Niagara Falls entered a population boom. So, the Niagara Falls School Board approached Hooker Chemical, acquired the land they were dumping wastes into, and had two schools (93rd Street & 99th Street) built, along with low-income family residences. Construction would drill into the chemical drums buried here, and toxic wastes would escape when rainwater washed through them. Twenty or so years later, Lois Gibbs is a local mother who is concerned for her son's poor health, learns that her and her neighbors' homes are built atop chemical waste. She faced many barriers in attempts to expose the awful conditions in which they were living (ignored by city officials, even the mayor stated there was nothing wrong). Eventually Jimmy Carter declared a federal health emergency and sent officials to remedy the site. At that point the 99th street school had been demolished. Hooker Chemical & the school board refused to accept liability. The federal government eventually had residents relocated, and demolished most of the homes on the land. Today, Love Canal is a grim reminder of what costs we pay when dealing with chemical companies, and that it's important to know your history. The area is essentially a ghost town, with a small handful of homes still standing (some families refused to move during the evacuation). This place is creepy. Recently I decided to take a little drive through the area, and a couple of the streets have road blocks that prevent you from driving down them. You can drive down 100th St. (a completely barren road), turn down Wheatfield Ave and check out the couple of houses that still stand on 101st St. (that's what I did). The space that I assume was the dump site seems to be completely fenced off. Frankly, I think I prefer to stay outside of that fence. Day 15

Near the northernmost entrance to the Market 63 shop, which is actually on the second floor of this building, it's to the left when you're facing it. Just to the right of the escalator. My first Banksy, which is very cool. And since the original location has been altered / changed / torn down, it's awesome that they went to the trouble of recovering and saving this. Now encased in glass for posterity. I love this and I hope that you will, too! [Review 10985 overall, 757 of 2019.]

It was a reverse…read morestencil of the Security Guard with balloon dog, that indirectly mocks contemporary artist aficionados - Jeff Koon's balloon dog. I used to work as a Protection Officer at the National Gallery of Canada. The guard and dog were on duty next to the Gardiner Expressway, on the north side of the former 90 Harbour Street, also known as the headquarters of the Ontario Provincial Police. Banksy clearly does his research. Despite it's high traffic area of downtown Toronto, it was deceivingly hidden, pinned between the Gardiner and one of the expressway's off-ramps. It was on one of the building's north-facing concrete pillars. After it first went up, it was not long before someone put a dodo on top of the guard's head, and made the dog growl "Grrr!". Then someone wrote "Robbin' Banksy" beside the piece in yellow. The piece stood for awhile, and despite demolition of the building around it - the lone pillar was one of the last things standing at the fenced-in site. It was protected with plywood and some kind of polystyrene foam covering the art on it. "We were ordered to save it," explains Ron Kepic, an estimator with Progreen Demolition, "so that nothing would fall, or hit it, or disturb it in any way." Where it is now, nobody knows.

Niagara Falls is so beautifully massive in person! It really is a must see! My Momma, sister and I…read morevisited Niagara during my high school spring break and absolutely loved it! Back then, it was fairly easy to cross from the United States into Canada, which we did. We did not take any official tours of the Falls, we just enjoyed them! I didn't realize Niagara Falls is not the tallest waterfalls in the world. There are actually about 500 other waterfalls in the world that are "taller" than Niagara. Niagara Falls is impressive in the amount of water flowing because more than six million cubic feet of water go over the falls' crestline every minute during peak daytime tour hours! Niagara has been the site of numerous jumps and plunges most often in various barrels! Folks have crossed it on tightropes. Niagara Falls visits increased sharply in 1953 following the release of the movie, "Niagara" starring Marilyn Monroe and Joseph Cotten. Niagara has been featured in a vast variety of fine art, too. I'm fortunate to have seen these beautiful falls in person!

The natural wonder of these falls never gets old. Simply breathtaking and awe-inspiring on each visit. When living in Pittsburgh and traveling internationally, we often flew in and out of Toronto's airport (even with the drive there and back, we'd save so much money)---stopping at the Falls was always part of the adventure. Most times spending the night on the way home after landing from a long European flight. Perfect way to end a trip before heading back home.
