Niagara Falls Walk-Abouts

Putting the new fitness band to good use, I mapped out a couple of walks the four of us took while on vacation in Niagara Falls.

First up, a walk from our hotel around Goat Island with a stop for dinner in the middle:
Part 1: Horseshoe Falls from the USA side

Part 2: American and Bridal Veil Falls on the USA side

Next, on the Canadian side, a walk along the river downstream.  Notice how the GPS gets confused about which side of the river we are on at one point and makes it appear as if we did a quick swim back and forth across the class 6 rapids!


White Water Walk

Check out these standing waves that form as the current begins to slow down that we saw at the end of our White Water Walk:

Photo cred to Irene - 2 meter amplitude standing wave in a rapid!
