Niagara

The water here feels almost electric with energy, and I loved how the shifting clouds painted the arch in constant, changing hues. I could have stayed for hours just watching the light dance across the spray.

The mist hung low enough that the arch looked like it was cut from silver, and the way the light shifted through it every few minutes kept me planted for over an hour. I've seen a lot of waterfalls, but this one’s sheer scale makes everything else feel like a garden hose.

I drove three hours just to see it and the overcast sky made the falls look even more powerful than in any photo I've seen. Standing right at the edge of the arch, you can feel the spray hitting your face from twenty feet away — absolutely worth every mile.
