09/06/2020. My continued pandemic hikes around the region lead us to Devil’ Hole State Park. The day was great, sunny and about 70 degrees. The trail is extensive and to say the least not boring. Most of it is tree covered so you will not have a hot sun beating down on you during your hike. I would definitely wear hike boots if you have some and bring some water to drink. The trail has numerous steps, up and down my iPhone tracked us at 30 flights and about 5 miles round trip. You can definitely spend less time than that if you so desire. I would start you trip on the North side of the trail facing the Power Generating plant. Take the steps down and hike southward along the gorge and the rushing rapids as you hear the sounds of the mighty Niagara River. One can continue on until you get to the bottom of the whirlpool gorge where you can sit along the shoreline as the rushing water goes by you. Overhead you can see the Aero car taking sightseers across the whirlpool gorge. Make your way back using the whirlpool steps and take the upper trail back to your car in the parking lot.

Just completed a private Niagara Wine Trail tasting tour as a couple - what a kick! Booked the tour through Amore di Vino Tours - Denise was wonderful in helping us book this trip. Our driver - Harold - was polite, friendly and engaging and arrived early to pick us up. The car he drove was clean and comfortable and roomy enough for us to purchase wine all along our tour. We booked a 7 hour tour and visited 8 wineries (Freedom Run - Arrowhead - Victorianbourg - A Gust of Son - Schulze - Spring Lake - Leonard Oakes and Flight of Five). Our tour included lunch for two along with a cheese tray and desserts. We both went with salads which were fantastic! The cheese and dessert trays remained untouched until we got home but both were good and contained way more than we could eat. This was a beautiful drive through WNY countryside and had fantastic views and small towns to see on our travels. This was our first time wine tasting and couldn't be happier!
