Niagara trip
Pamela_H, September 2026
Wear shoes you don't mind to get wet. Pack a small bag to wear under your poncho with dry socks and shoes for after the boat and cave of the winds. Do the boat 1st and safe the blue poncho it's more heavy duty than the yellow one. After the cave the park has nice trails to walk. And a spot for hot coffee
