This is an epic hike. It'll be loud, turbulent, and thrilling! This 5.5 KM loop will take us to the the base of the Niagara Gorge, right beside the Niagara Whirlpools. We'll hike through slippery slopes, large boulders, and a lush forest scenery - all part of Niagara Falls' natural wonders. Wear proper shoes that are comfortable and have good grip. There's no swimming in the rapids for obvious reasons, but it's pretty cool down by the water - super nice on a hot day.
While this is a short hike, there's a steep ascent and descent making it moderately challenging and with so much to look at, it'll probably take us around 3 hrs to complete.
To relax, we'll head over to check out the cool flowers at the Botanical Gardens. Spanning almost 100 acres, we'll have time to enjoy the massive lawns and walk the footpaths of maintained gardens.
