NIAGARA FALLS

   Answer -- a lot of gallons. Here are some measurements about the Falls ... As for the pictures ... this is 1996, and DARN I HAVE A LOT OF HAIR BACK THEN!!!! I recommend heading to Buffalo after seeing the Falls for some quality wings.

- the Canadian Horseshoe Falls plunges 52 meters (170 feet) into the Maid of the Mist Pool.

- at the American Falls the water's vertical descent ranges from 21 to 34 meters (70 to 110 feet) to the rock at the base of the Falls.

- the Niagara Gorge extends from the Falls for 11 kilometers (7 miles) downstream to the foot of the escarpment at Queenston.

- more than 168,000 cubic meters (6 million cubic feet) of water go over the crestline every minute during peak daytime tourist hours.
