Not sure if you could find a spot to get a shot of it with N.F. in the background, but maybe.
:xl:
Yeah. I can't think of a spot that you could do that. The whole area is pretty much a "No Stop" zone. There is some parking on the road, but that's on the opposite side and you'd be hard pressed to get the car and the falls in the same shot.
But the parkway: tons of beautiful scenery and plenty of places to stop.
If you have any interest in big ships, the Welland Canal is about 10 minutes away. Lock 3 is the touristy spot, but there's a pretty cool observation deck.
Now looking at big ships sounds pretty odd unless you're into them, but watching these things go into the locks and seeing how the locks operate is pretty cool. It's worth an hour of your time if you've never seen anything like it.. and if you want to get some exercise, there's a recreation trail that runs pretty much the entire length of the canal - you can walk, run, roller blade, cycle, or sit and ogle all day long.
A wine tour is fun, too. When you go in, tell the sommelier that you're a member of the wine club and the prices on the tasting menu disappear. Just don't try and do the same at the store checkout because they check there. If the sommelier checks (it's rare) just say you used to be a member and are not sure if it's still valid.
We actually are members of the Hillebrand and Peller wineries (one club, two wineries), but we noticed this dynamic while doing a winery tour last summer with a bunch of Chrysler LX car owners. In fact when they are really busy, you just tell them what you want to taste and when you're done, thank them and drift off to shop. They don't really care. They seemed to take money from the people that offered it, but if you didn't, they didn't ask.
I'm rambling... I'll stop now.
