grandson, Alex Jones at Journey Behind The Falls 6650 Niagara Parkway Niagara Falls, Ontario July 26, 2011 |
Journey Behind the Falls (known until
the early 1990s as the Scenic Tunnels) is an attraction in Niagara Falls,
Ontario located in the Table Rock Center beside the Canadian Horseshoe
Falls. It is open year round and run by the Niagara Parks Commission.
Journey Behind the Falls consists of an observation platform and series of tunnels near the bottom of the Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian shore of the Niagara River. The tunnels and platform can be reached by elevators from the street level entrance. The tour is unguided. The two tunnels extend approximately 151 feet behind the waterfall and allow visitors to view water cascading in front of the open cave entrances. In the opinion of the two RV Gypsies, this part is OK, but not overly exciting. The observation deck however provides a vantage point looking up with the falls to the right, allowing a full view of the famous landmark. The deck is sprayed with water from the cascade soaking the visitors. The two RV Gypsies like this part best. |

Unfortunately, it was time for Alex to fly home to Florida (yes, alone) because he has to get ready for a new year at school. The two RV Gypsies really enjoyed having with them for awhile. After seeing Alex off on the airplane, Lee and Karen Dququette continued their RV journey. |
