1st Day: We will be heading up through Virginia into West Virginia, on our way to two overlooks that give spectacular and breathtaking views of the wild New River and the New River Gorge Bridge, a four-lane steel arch bridge which is the longest in the world. It is the highest span east of the Mississippi River and the third highest in the United States. After our visit, we will continue on our way to Cranberry Township, PA - our home for the evening.
2nd Day: Have breakfast and depart the hotel. Prior to crossing the border, we will visit Niagara Falls, USA to get a view of the falls on the American side. After our visit, we will cross the border into Canada and continue on to Niagara Falls, Ontario where we will check into our home for the next two nights. This evening we will go to the Falls, where you can enjoy a breathtaking nighttime view of the Falls, with the beautiful colored lights. (CB)
3rd Day: You’ll have free time this morning/early afternoon to do as you wish while waiting for the Eclipse to begin. There are several attractions to chose from including: Hornblower Niagara Cruise; Journey Behind the Falls; Niagara Spanish Aero Car (ride over the Whirlpool); Niagara Falls Incline Railway; and more. Casino Niagara and Fallsview Casino are also available for those who might like to try their luck. The eclipse should begin at 2:04pm and end at 4:31pm with the ‘total’ eclipse happening around 3:20pm. Following the solar event, we will visit the Skylon Tower. Enjoy a wonderful plated meal, in the Revolving Dining Room. Admission to the Observation Deck is also included. From the moment you hop aboard one of the “yellow bug” elevators and glide smoothly to the top, you will agree that Skylon is the only way to experience the majesty of Niagara Falls. When you reach the Observation Deck, 775 feet above the falls, the awe-inspiring panoramic view will take your breath away. Enjoy spectacular views of the Falls, the Great Gorge, Niagara wine district and the city skylines of Buffalo, New York and Toronto. (CB, D)
4th Day: After breakfast at the hotel, we will visit the Butterfly Conservatory. The Conservatory features over 2,000 vibrantly colored butterflies fluttering freely throughout winding pathways adorned with lush vegetation and trickling waterfalls. After our visit, we will depart for Washington, Pennsylvania - a suburb of Pittsburgh, PA - and our home for the evening. (CB)
5th Day: After breakfast we head home, arriving approximately 5:30 PM. (CB)
