POWERFUL! 4.8…read more We travel internationally far more often than we travel within the States, but a visit to Niagara Falls should undoubtedly be on everyone's U.S. bucket list. So, of course, while vacationing in Syracuse, we had to make the drive west to experience this spectacular wonder, one of the "Seven Natural Wonders of North America." Many years ago, I had seen the falls from the Canadian side, but this trip offered an entirely different perspective from the New York vantage point. There are three waterfalls in total, separated by landmasses: Horseshoe Falls, the largest of the three; American Falls, the second largest; and Bridal Veil Falls, the smallest. While Niagara Falls doesn't rank among the world's tallest waterfalls, in fact, it doesn't make the top 500. It is the sheer width, immense volume, and astonishing flow rate that make it so impressive. The seemingly endless torrent of water comes from the Great Lakes, with four of the five, Superior, Michigan, Huron, and Erie, ultimately feeding the Niagara River. There is a large visitor parking lot where you pay a fee, but once inside Niagara Falls State Park, you're free to explore on foot. There are several paid tours and attractions, but we opted to simply follow the "Attractions & Trails" map and make our way through the park at our own pace. We started at Stop #2, Terrapin Point, for an up-close view of the massive Horseshoe Falls. Standing there, surrounded by the thunderous roar and tremendous force of the rushing water, was awe-inspiring. Following the map, we continued along the paved walkway all the way to the end, where we discovered a quieter trail with noticeably fewer crowds. It was wonderfully peaceful, watching and listening to the gentle stream of water which was a striking contrast to the thunderous falls just moments before. The trail eventually looped us back around to the main pathway. For lunch, we stopped at The Top of the Falls Restaurant. I ordered the Blue Niagara Splash cocktail, and we shared a chicken wrap and salad. The food was basic diner fare, but it did the job and satisfied our need for a quick bite before heading out. If you're up for witnessing something truly spectacular, put Niagara Falls on your list. At our leisurely pace, we spent a little over two hours exploring the park. Since we needed to be back in Syracuse by late afternoon, we left before seeing the falls illuminated at night. For that, it gives us one more reason to return.

It was very easy to get to, parking wasn't more than a few bucks, and I had a lovely time. I didn't go on a tour or anything, I just explored by foot and navigating my way around was a breeze thanks to all of the signage and information everywhere. I visited one of the restrooms near the parking lot and it was rather clean for being a public bathroom in such a busy tourist area. The paths were paved and they had coin operated binoculars to use to get an even closer up view of Horseshoe Falls. While the view isn't as good as when you're on the Canadian side, it's still breathtaking. You're pretty much on top right as the water spills over and you can feel the energy of the water. I stood there in awe for a good 10 minutes enjoying the mist on my skin. It was a hot day so it was much appreciated. The sound is also so soothing. I could totally have picniced in the area and taken a short nap. I definitely suggest paying this spot a visit if you're out exploring.

If you are not up for a walk you can drive here and park at the nearby lot and it is a short walk. It's a beautiful view and no matter where you are on the walkway you will get a great shot of the falls. If you want to just sit and take it in, you can. On a nice warm day, the mist every so often off the falls feels good hitting your face while the sun is baking you. This can be as quick a visit as you want it to be. Or you can just sit hear all day and watch the hoards of tourist coming and going.
