Well, I was down there this past winter with a tourist friend and saw the
signs of where to get your ticket to do this cave thing.
All the attractions I listed on on the Canadian side....as it's the gawdy
overdeveloped side!
Interesting side note....for decades the 'parks commission' has kept track
of 'MIST EVENTS'...namely, when the mist is so thick that it presents an
issue to those viewing the falls. Apparently with all the big hotels gone
up on the Canadian side, when the wind is right, it creates an eddy between
the hotels and the falls, which draws the mist in and now they have more ov
these misting events (I watch too much Discovery channel! lol)
