Day 4-5 : Arrive Niagara Falls
Board the Maple Leaf rail service to Niagara Falls
Get an early start today as you travel to Niagara Falls. The cities of Niagara Falls, Ontario and Niagara Falls, NY, are connected by a bridge across the Niagara River. At the falls, its sudden drop creates one of the most spectacular waterfalls on the continent.
Among the shortest rivers in the world at 36 miles, Niagara also is one of the widest. The Canadian falls have a crest of more than 2,215 feet outlining a deep curve, thus the name Horseshoe falls. The river underneath is as deep as the cataract is high.
During the past 12,000 years, the approximate age of the falls, the crest has moved 7 miles upstream. While in the area, you may want to visit Niagara on the Lake, a beautifully preserved 19th century village.
