Episode 28: From Black Squirrels to Boat Rides: What We Learned at Niagara Falls
This episode takes you to Niagara Falls with me and Trooper as we share the surprising facts we learned while planning our family trip. We cover what makes the Falls so powerful (including a water-flow comparison you can actually picture), plus the history, engineering, and a few wild stories from the past. We get practical with what to do and see, including our honest take on Maid of the Mist, Cave of the Winds, Prospect Point, and tips for visiting in every season. We also share a few fun extras like black squirrels, nighttime illumination and fireworks, and nearby stops like Buffalo, Lake Ontario, Lake Erie, and Lockport’s “Flight of Five” locks. Whether you’re planning a trip or just dreaming about one, this is the episode for you!
