On Sat. July 11 we took a commercial tour of the American side with 15 others folks. We saw parts in detail which we bypassed the day before.
Our guide, Eric, teaches History in a local junior high school. He did a fine job of showing us some of the sights and avoiding long lines to the more popular attractions.
Today’s tour began downstream from the falls where cable cars run across the gorge, with boarding the Canadian side.
Cable car riders get a great view of the whirlpool at the end of the rapids. Our guide said that a body entering the whirlpool will emerge downstream about 6 months later.
Here are the rapids in the gorge looking upstream from the whirlpool.
This view of Horseshoe falls differs from that of the day before due to the wind pushing the mist away from the falls.
We were treated to a rainbow in the mist.
Our view of the day!
