Cave of the Winds is a thrilling walkway experience that brings visitors to the base of Bridal Veil Falls on the American side. After descending via elevator into the Niagara Gorge, you follow a series of wooden decks and platforms that lead directly into the spray zone. The highlight is the Hurricane Deck, where the falls' torrent crashes down just feet away, soaking everyone in a constant gale. Visitors are given sandals and ponchos to brave the elements, making it an immersive and unforgettable encounter with the raw power of nature.
