  • The town of Niagara Falls in Ontario, Canada, gives excellent views of all three sections of Niagara Falls, which drops 167 feet (51 m). Niagara Falls has the highest flow rate of any waterfall in the world. Niagara Falls is the name for the combined flow of Horseshoe Falls, American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls, on the Niagara River along the international border between Ontario, Canada and New York, USA. The Niagara River drains Lake Erie into Lake Ontario. Horseshoe Falls is the most powerful waterfall in North America, as measured by vertical height combined with flow rate. The falls are 17 miles north-northwest of Buffalo, New York and 75 miles south-southeast of Toronto. The panorama was stitched from 9 overlapping photos.

  • Fall leaves. Hike Mount Jo in the Adirondack Mountains, near Lake Placid, North Elba, New York, USA.

  • Hike Mount Jo in the Adirondack Mountains, near Lake Placid, North Elba, New York, USA. Beautiful Heart Lake and Adirondak Loj (an historic lodge) lie at the foot of Mount Jo (2876 ft or 877 m elev), which is on land owned by the Adirondack Mountain Club (AMC). With a sweeping vista of the Great Range, Mt Jo offers one of the best views for the effort in the Adirondacks: ascend 710 feet or 216 m from the Loj in 2.6 miles roundtrip. From atop Mt. Jo, see the surrounding High Peaks Wilderness Area, a state Forest Preserve protected within Adirondack Park. Adirondack Park is the largest park in the contiguous USA and is the largest National Historic Landmark. Geologic history: The Adirondacks are very new mountains from old rocks, uplifting in a circular dome (160 miles wide and 1 mile high) over just the past 5 million years. Geologically, the Adirondacks are NOT in the Appalachians: instead, they are part of the Canadian Shield (or Laurentian or Precambrian Shield which underlies half of Canada). The Adirondacks are still rising fast, up to 3 mm per year, with a central core (High Peaks region) of intrusive igneous rock, Anorthosite (not common at Earth's surface but common on the Moon's surface), surrounded by a massive dome of 1-billion-year-old metamorphic gneiss rock, in turn surrounded by some younger sedimentary rocks. In contrast, the unrelated Appalachians have mostly younger sedimentary rocks, yet are among the world's oldest mountains and are no longer uplifting. The panorama was stitched from 6 overlapping photos.

  • See the sun set over the Adirondacks from atop Mount Philo State Park (established 1924), in Charlotte, Vermont, USA. From atop Mount Philo (968 feet elevation), see Lake Champlain and the Adirondack Mountains to the west and the Green Mountains to the east and south. Ascend via steep narrow car road (not suitable for RVs longer than 25 feet) or by trail. Mt. Philo is comprised of hard sedimentary rocks (Cambrian Monkton Quartzites) that are thrust over younger Ordovician rocks of the Stony Point Formation. Its Cambrian rocks were deposited 500 million years ago on a warm shallow marine shelf along the east coast of Laurentia (Proto North America) then tectonically uplifted.

  • Mount Mansfield (4393 feet or 1339 m) is the highest mountain in Vermont. In the Green Mountains (a range in the Appalachians), drive Vermont Route 108 from Jeffersonville to Stowe through the narrow mountain pass of Smugglers Notch (not passable for RVs longer than 28 feet due to boulders protruding on tight turns), in Lamoille County, VT, USA. The tight notch (most of which is in Mount Mansfield State Forest) separates Mount Mansfield from Spruce Peak and the Sterling Range. The name Smugglers Notch goes back to the Embargo Act of 1807 which forbade American trade with Great Britain and Canada, as President Thomas Jefferson wanted to prevent American involvement in the Napoleonic Wars. But Vermonters still herded livestock and smuggled crucial goods through the Notch to nearby Montreal. Fugitive slaves escaped through here to Canada. Upgraded for automobile traffic in 1922, the route eased liquor flow from Canada during Prohibition. Smugglers Notch State Park was created by the depression-era Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). Mount Mansfield is one of three spots in Vermont where true alpine tundra survives from the Ice Ages. The mountain has many hiking trails, such as the Long Trail ridgeline traverse.

  • Observe the extreme tides of Bay of Fundy lifting fishing boats at picturesque St. Martins, in Saint John County, New Brunswick, Canada. Bay of Fundy has the highest tidal range in the world, due to a resonance of being just the right length (270 km) matching the gravitational pushing cycle of the Moon that causes the tides. Coincidentally, the time it takes a large wave to go from the mouth of the bay to the inner shore and back is practically the same as the time from one high tide to the next. (You can see the effect of resonance for yourself by steadily pushing a long pan of water back and forth: an optimal pushing frequency for a given pan length will build up a high wave of water which sloshes out; but pushing too fast or too slow won't build up the big wave.) Two high tides occur per day, one when the ocean side is nearest the Moon, and one on the side of the Earth most distant from the Moon, about 12 hours and 25 minutes from one high tide to the next. The Bay of Fundy is on the Atlantic coast of North America, on the northeast end of the Gulf of Maine between the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. St. Martins (2006 population: 386) is 40 km east of Saint John. St. Martins (originally known as Quaco) was founded by Loyalists in 1783. Its important 1800s shipbuilding center faded, leaving tourism as today's major industry.

  • Irish River or Vaughan Creek #1 Covered Bridge was built in 1935 in picturesque St. Martins, in Saint John County, New Brunswick, Canada. The lighthouse building was built in 1983 to display the lantern room from the 1883 Quaco Head Lighthouse and to serve as a Visitor Information Center in St. Martins. Climb to the lantern to view the harbour and two historic covered bridges. Observe the extreme tides of Bay of Fundy lifting fishing boats near the bridge. Drive through the covered bridge and go 7 km on Big Salmon River Road to reach the start of the Fundy Trail Parkway, a 16 kilometer auto route along the Fundy coast ending at Big Salmon River, a former lumbering center.
