Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls is a group of three waterfalls at the southern end of Niagara Gorge, between the Canadian province of Ontario and the US state of New York. The largest is Horseshoe Falls, also known as Canadian Falls, which straddles the international border between Canada and the United States.
I stayed at the Sheraton on the Falls hotel, which has a direct view of Horseshoe Falls. I also recommend visiting the town Niagara-on-the-lake, a small town with colonial-style buildings, wineries, and Fort George.
One of my favorite Canadian products is ice wine. I also visited a local ice winery but forgot the name already.



Crater Lake


When I first arrived at the Crater Lake National Park, it started snowing at the end of May! Just moved from Boston to San Fransisco, I reunited with winter snows after 9 months. Luckily, I still had my snow brush in my car and was able to clean 7 inches of snow. It was extremely foggy after a whole night of snowing; I couldn’t see the lake at all even standing just at the edge of the lake! Luckily, Oregon is incredibly beautiful. I especially recommend driving The Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway. It is roughly 500 miles long and the section near Crater Lake National Park is dotted with cattle farms, beautiful lagoons, and national forests.




Driving through Umpqua National Forest
On my way back, I took a detour to visit the Redwood National and States Parks.
