Niagara Falls, Ontario

Ever since European explorers were first drawn to Niagara Falls by the native's tales of the gods that inhabited this area, tourists by the millions have flocked to one of the great natural wonders in North America. Niagara Falls has grown from a popular honeymoon stopover to a huge four season tourist destination. Even though the area around the falls is "touristy" in many aspects, it is still one of my favorite places to visit. If you take an early morning walk, before the crowds set in, you can still get a feeling of the majesty and raw beauty of the falls. And on the Canadian side, I also enjoy traveling up the Niagara Parkway to Niagara on the Lake, but that will be a topic will be covered in another post.
