Four large elevators took the passengers down to near river level. After an walk down more, we were issued blue rain ponchos, with our guide instructing us not to put them on until the boat disembarked, as one gets sweaty wearing them while in the sun. Most ignored the advice.
The two Maid of the Mist boats (VI and VII) were able to keep up with the steady stream of passengers coming down the elevators.
Here is most of the width of the American Falls from the boat.
At the left is the tower for the elevators
At the center is Bridal Veil Falls with the Cave of the Winds walkways .
The gentleman at the left helped Jo put on her poncho.
Lots of gulls chose to take a mass afternoon flight.
Across the river on the Canadian side is the building and walkway for those on that side to take a walk under Horseshoe
Falls.
The width of Horseshoe Falls is visible here.
As we approach the place for disembarking, the other boat at left is preparing to leave with the next load of tourists.
Here are nice views of the American Falls from the top of the walkway where the elevators are loaded.
