Description
Join us for an International Hike adventure where we will hike across the Rainbow Bridge to the Niagara State Park and descend into the Niagara Gorge Trails downriver from the Falls. Recommended for experienced hikers as some parts will be more technically challenging and some boulder hopping and a steep staircase will be involved. From the site of the Schoellkopf Power plant we will have good views of the Rainbow Bridge and the Horseshoe Falls. Before returning to the Canadian side will hike a portion of Goat Island for a closeup view of the American Falls. You will need to bring (1) a $1.00 coin for the pedestrian bridge toll to be collected by automated tollgate before exiting Canada and (2) a valid Canadian Passport. The Hike Leaders will verify all hikers have a valid passport as you check in and board the bus. There will be two groups - a moderate pace with Tom and Celia and a faster pace with Smadar and Jacquie. For day travel to the USA emergency medical medical insurance coverage, available for a few dollars, is strongly recommended.
