People travel great distances to see what is in you back yard.
I often think of that too. I usually ride my bike along the Niagara River from the Falls north a few times a year. NY has significantly improved the trail and park north of the Falls. I have walked the gorge many years ago that followed the former Great Gorge Railway. There are still a few things from the railway that are still down there. But also new rock slides too. I'm no longer in shape to climb those long and steep stairs into and out of the gorge. I can't wait to start riding my bike again.
For those people that say that the view is better from Canada.....there right because they are looking back at the United States of America.
