It's a hard spot to find, two hundred yards south of the Whirlpool Bridge (Nexus Pass only) on the US side. Just past the parking lot, there is a very easy trail along the top of the bank. About 50 yards in there is an unseen covered trail that leads to an old concrete stairway. Find it and it takes you to a rock outcrop 200 feet above the river gorge. There you will see the City of Niagara Falls Skyline.

Photography Tips

Go in the fall 2-3rd week in October. At noon the sun shines down the middle of the gorge. Choose a day with some clouds. 85-125 mm lens is best on a full-frame camera. Take a pano shot. You need a good tripod, it can get windy and watch your footing.
