From Sea to Shining Sea

Erin’s Trek Across America

Day 44- Rest Day

Today was an AMAZING day! We had a rest day in Erie, so there were 8 of us that decided to rent two cars and drive to Niagra Falls! I had never been so I was so excited! We arrived midmorning, and it was just an unbelievable site. We decided to drive to the Canadian side because you get a better view from that side. These falls are so beautiful and powerful–it’s a site that everyone needs to see sometime in their life. We took the Journey Beneath the Falls tour, which allows you to walk in tunnels underneath Horseshoe Falls. It was so loud, and so breathtaking to be underneath these mighty falls.

Here is a pic of Horseshoe Falls which is mostly on the Canadian side–taken from the Skylon Tower where we ate lunch–the mist that these falls creates makes it seem like it is lightly raining as you walk around to the various attractions. I actually thought it was raining when we first got there until someone in the car corrected me– who would have thought?!

Below is a pic of the American Falls, also taken from the Skylon Tower–

As you can see– it was just unbelievable– there’s no other way to describe it. Such a great day!
