  • The Maid of the Mist boat ride in Niagara Falls is a great way to see the American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls and Horseshoe Falls on the Niagara River. Located in Niagara Falls State Park , this is one of several American attractions that are worth touring when visiting the US side.
    This video is part of our epic road trip to all 5 US Great Lakes (Ontario, Erie, Huron, Superior & Michigan) where we visited Niagara Falls in New York, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Pictured Rocks and Apostle Islands National Lakeshores, Mackinac Island, the Porcupine Mountains ("Porkies" as they say in da UP), the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Ohio, the Henry Ford Museum in Detroit, the Lakeshore bike trail in Chicago, Frankenmuth the year-round Christmas city - are you tired yet? Oh and we ate a lot of pasties and fudge. Like a lot of fudge. So much fudge that we actually take no offense to the Yoopers and Trolls calling us Fudgies. We've been called much worse. Stay tuned for a ton of videos showing our adventures like dune climbing, kayaking, hiking or biking, that we will continue to link below as they are released. The United States of America is a huge place and this is just one small portion of it.

    Thank you for the great video. Is it tough to get a photo of yourselves with the falls in the background? It seems like there would be so many people in the background that would block the falls. Maybe there is another spot more practical to take that type of picture? Thank you

    • @MagellanandGreyhound

      It isn’t too hard. The boat isn’t too packed so you can maneuver somewhat. That said there are better spots to be when you board but any place you are is still great

      I don't think there were changing rooms, but there were restrooms to do so. We didn't need to change because the ponchos kept us pretty dry. We did another video on Cave of the Winds and I got absolutely soaked with the ponchos but the sun dried me off pretty fast.
