On our way back from Niagara on the Lake I suggested we stop by to see the Falls since we were there. I had no idea that the Canadian side was so built up. Reminded us of Vegas in a way.
Parking would have cost $25 so we gave up searching for a spot and stopped in a Tim Horton's to use the rest room instead.
There were considerable crowds along the Canadian side and traffic moved slowly.
We then headed over the Friendship Bridge and that's how we viewed the Falls as we waited to pass through Customs.
...the Falls are iconic, but a bit over crowded!
ReplyDeleteNo matter how commercial it is becoming you can't take away the magnificence of the Falls.
ReplyDeleteI went there back when I was too young to remember. I want to see the Falls, one day. It's just such a long trek from California to there. Ahhh, one day...
ReplyDeleteIt is very commercialized, but I think you should have done it anyway. It is nice to walk beside the falls if nothing else.
ReplyDeleteWe've been there, years ago, and we stayed on the Canadian Side --and loved it. BUT--it wasn't built up like it is now and we didn't have a 'crowd' problem.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the Gatlinburg area ---which is so touristy now. We stay away from that area during the heavy seasonal times.... During the winter, it's wonderful there.
