  • The Maid of the Mist boat ride in Niagara Falls is a great way to see the American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls and Horseshoe Falls on the Niagara River. Located in Niagara Falls State Park , this is one of several American attractions that are worth touring when visiting the US side.
    This video is part of our epic road trip to all 5 US Great Lakes (Ontario, Erie, Huron, Superior & Michigan) where we visited Niagara Falls in New York, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Pictured Rocks and Apostle Islands National Lakeshores, Mackinac Island, the Porcupine Mountains ("Porkies" as they say in da UP), the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Ohio, the Henry Ford Museum in Detroit, the Lakeshore bike trail in Chicago, Frankenmuth the year-round Christmas city - are you tired yet? Oh and we ate a lot of pasties and fudge. Like a lot of fudge. So much fudge that we actually take no offense to the Yoopers and Trolls calling us Fudgies. We've been called much worse. Stay tuned for a ton of videos showing our adventures like dune climbing, kayaking, hiking or biking, that we will continue to link below as they are released. The United States of America is a huge place and this is just one small portion of it.

      Haha this is right up your alley! Probably the easiest set of falls you’ve seen though 😉. Yeah we wrongfully assumed the boat would turn more to let our side see better too. Still great views from anywhere though

      @@MagellanandGreyhound it was incredible, haven’t seen it since I was a kid. Now my kids have been able to witness it. The water mist was surprisingly warm and the falls itself was beautiful. We’d like to visit Toronto and if we do we will definitely make a stop again at Niagara!

      I'm with you there! We would love to visit the other side too. One commenter on this or one one of our other Niagara videos said, you see the falls on Canadian side but you feel them on the American side.

    At 1:56 where were you, on the boat? It seems like for most of the video the boat is far away from the falls but at 1:56 it’s like you’re right up against the waterfall.

    • @MagellanandGreyhound
      @MagellanandGreyhound  6 месяцев назад +2

      For that shot, we are not on the boat - we are just showing briefly that it is a thing you can do (Bbecause we did do it), and that is something you can see while you are on the boat tour.

    Thank you for the great video. Is it tough to get a photo of yourselves with the falls in the background? It seems like there would be so many people in the background that would block the falls. Maybe there is another spot more practical to take that type of picture? Thank you

    • @MagellanandGreyhound

      It isn’t too hard. The boat isn’t too packed so you can maneuver somewhat. That said there are better spots to be when you board but any place you are is still great

      I don't think there were changing rooms, but there were restrooms to do so. We didn't need to change because the ponchos kept us pretty dry. We did another video on Cave of the Winds and I got absolutely soaked with the ponchos but the sun dried me off pretty fast.
