Niagara Falls: Thunderous Falls Amid Peaceful Surroundings Perhaps North Americas most storied waterfall, Niagara Falls is best viewed from Canadian shores, where the 2,500foot (762 m) brink reaches more than twice the height of its American counterpart. Though the falls never completely freeze, an ice bridge sparkling with frozen stalactites often forms at the cascades base from December through midMarch. To turn a visit to the legendary landmark into a romantic date night, VIP vouchers for two at five local Niagara wineries are included in the deal. Recently, several entertainment venues have opened around the magnetic cataract, transforming the area into a fullfledged tourist destination centered on nearby Clifton Hill. There, a 175foot (53 m) Ferris wheel towers high above nightclubs and arcade halls as the distant rush of water reminds travelers of their surroundings and longlost rubber duckies. |
