Wow we went on the Maid of the Mist boat tour and it was amazing. What a great way to experience the falls. You get so close and so wet! We also went on the Cave of the Winds Tour and that was phenomenal. That's where you are able to walk straight up to the off shoot of the falls (where the water is pounding off the rocks) and we got as close as we possible could. Words can not describe though I seem to be trying. We were down to the bone soaked even though we had on the rain slickers. We were surprised though how warm the water was coming out of Lake Erie.
Before coming to the falls we camped on Lake Erie and that was certainly interesting. It nearly like being at the ocean. You couldn't see the other side, you could hear the waves crashing (or rather rolling in. Quarter foot waves don't really crash but they sounded tranquil), and we even found sea glass or as Rob pointed out lake glass.
