Trailhead Niagara Gorge Hiking Trail — Attraction in City of Niagara Falls

First time stopping to see the Niagara Gorge View, and it was so beautiful! We went in the peak of fall to see the foliage, and it did not disappoint.

What seems to be a tough hike is totally worth it, because you can spend a few hours at the bottom - the choppy niagra river gorge, speed boat, cable cars above.... And the sound and the color of deep aquamarine water. All this incredible experience is free!! Thank you...

When you reach the point where the trail from Whirlpool bridge comes down there is a huge rock. Back around 1990 we used to use this to practice rock climbing. There is a spot on top to run a belay line through if you are using a harness.

If you get down to the rapids there is a metal "sand" bar. It is mostly nails. However, people have "mined" it and found coins, rings and things from 100 or so years ago.

The trail can be a...
