The
overwhelming shape and size of the Horseshoe Falls, not to mention the three
thousand tons of water that crash over it each second, make it a crowd pleaser.
This
magical place is a world of pairs: Canadian and American falls, natural and
man-made attractions, accessible and not so wheelchair-accessible areas.
Thankfully
for disabled visitors, the majority of Niagara Falls’ natural areas and some of
the tourist magnets sprung up all around it are accessible.
Access
is crucial to us because Heidi, who has lived with rheumatoid arthritis since
age eight, uses a wheelchair for mobility.
As for the pair of nations that share the falls, the question of where to stay is won by Canada hands down.
Viewing
of the American and Canadian Horseshoe falls is better from the Canadian side.
The
U.S.’s neighbor to the north also has a better array of hotels to choose from
and nothing on the American side compares to the fun offered by Canadian
Niagara’s kitschy and crazy Clifton Hill.
That
brings us to our last pair. While the natural beauty of the falls draws
visitors to the region, the wacky carnival of Clifton Hill keeps kids of all
ages coming back.
