The spray hits first: a cool mist that frames the falls in a moving veil while distant engines hum from the river below. On a private day tour from downtown Toronto you arrive by an air-conditioned vehicle, stepping out at viewpoints where the Niagara River throws itself over 50 metres of escarpment with relentless force.
