| Niagara Falls Canada |
 You will get wet when you take the Maid of the Mist tour to the Falls. |
  A view of Horse-shoe Falls from the top of the Needle. This is the Canadian side. The American falls are about 10 ft taller but much smaller in width.

| The Maid of the Mist tour takes you up close and personal to the falls. My glasses needed wiper blades. |
| The name "Maid of the Mist" comes from folklore that a young native woman was heart broken and jumped over the falls. The modern day natives claim this never happened and want the tour group to change their name. Unfortunately, 8 to 10 people do die on the falls every year. Eight have died this year already (as of August 2002). Could be a record year. |
| The first to go over the falls in a barrel was a woman school teacher back in the early 1900's. She survived. Now if you go over the falls and survive you will spend time in jail and pay a hefty fine. The funeral is free if you do not. |
