From TheStreet.com:
The rush of standing right next to Niagara Falls, close enough to feel the spray on your face, is an unparalleled experience.
When you consider that there are few natural wonders left unpaved or unfenced in this country, these thundering falls are even more impressive. Niagara won’t disappoint, whether taken in from the American Falls, Horseshoe Falls, or the Bridal Veil Falls (it’s actually three separate waterfalls).
Although Niagara may bring to mind cheap souvenirs, heart-shaped Jacuzzis and washed-up lounge singers, the Falls and surrounding area have much more to offer — and after the summer crowds have moved on is an ideal time to take it all in.
