More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the coach into a fine mist that tastes like river and stone. The roar arrives before the Falls come into view—an audible tide that pulls your attention to the horseshoe of white water. On the Canadian side, observation decks at Table Rock place you inches from the cataract; farther along the gorge, the river dares you to follow its channel into the Whirlpool.
