Both the large Horseshoe Falls and the smaller American Falls are collectively called "Niagra Falls". There is apparently a 3rd smallest Fall (Bridal Veil Falls) but I didn't see it. The helicopter ride above the falls was fantastic!
Further up-river there is a dam which is used to produce Hydro Electricity.
To the left, you can see the tourist boat entering the Horseshoe Falls area. I can't imagine those people that have gone over in a barrel...unless it was a beer keg and they drank the beer keg first?? (left are Horseshoe Falls, right are American Falls)
You can see how close the hand railing is to the falls. I know, while I was standing there taking photos, I was hoping someone was checking frequently for water erosion.
Creepy, yet very cool that tourists can get so close to the drop-off.
Guaranteed with all the mist in the air...if it is a sunny day, there will be a rainbow!
These are all my own photos
I hope you enjoyed my post because I enjoyed making it.
