Road trip from Niagara Falls to Toronto Canada
The sound of the roaring water of Niagara Falls is a reminder of what nature can do without the help of human beings. Niagara Falls is the largest waterfall, by volume in North America. It attracts over 12 million visitors per year from around the world.
Niagara Falls consists of three parts. The American Falls which drops between 90-120 feet, Bridal Veil Falls and The Canadian or Horseshoe Falls, which drops 167 feet and stretches over 2700 feet in width. We are taking a road trip from Niagara Falls in Canada to Toronto, the largest city in Canada.
It is a short drive from Niagara Falls to Toronto. In fact it is only
78 miles and
one hour 32 minutes drive.
Things to do and see in Niagara Falls:

This hotel is located 100 yards from the fall and you can view the roaring waterfall 24 hours a day, appearance of rainbows, people walking on the walkways, the Maid of the Mist taking its many voyages around the Fall and even fireworks display at the comfort of your room.

You can get the magnificent view of the Falls at night in a restaurant, lounge or observation deck.
Get close to the base of the falls aboard the Maid of the Mist, walk behind the fall at Journey Behind the Falls or hop on a helicopter ride and fly over the falls. For those who are adventurous get on a jet boat for whitewater rafting, cycling or hiking trails along the Niagara-on-the-Lake area.
