Day 62 - Port Dover Ontario to Niagara Falls Ontario

We left our B&B in Port Dover and headed east toward Fort Erie and Niagara Falls. We enjoyed 100+ miles with no traffic, many of them on the Freedom bike trail. This joined with the northbound Niagara trail along the Niagara River. From miles away, you could see the plume of mist rising into the sky from the falls. Diane got into Niagara Falls first and secured us a great room at the Falls View Marriott. It had a grand picture window overlooking the falls. The only drawback is that the windows did not open, so you could not hear a thing. On my way into town, I passed by Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse. We have not been to one since last summer in San Diego. I know where we’re eating tonight. If you have never see the Falls, they are simply amazing. Imagine an enormous lake just falling into the grand canyon. Or for some, the edge of the world…if it was flat. Any way, they light up the falls at night and we were treated with a fireworks show.

  • Leaving our B&B in Port Dover
  • ????????????
  • So hard to look at!
  • Fort Erie. The whole region is where most of the war of 1812 was fought. Google it!
  • Heading up the Niagara River to the falls
  • Buffalo, NY across the river
  • This area is very rich in history dating back to the 1700s
  • Almost to the Falls
  • Our B&B in a very busy beach town
  • This scow was beached just before the fall in 1918.. amazing it has never gone over.
  • And the history…
  • Looking over the falls
  • And another view. Imagine what it would be like if the Earth was flat.
  • Fireworks at night
