On a sunny day, a rainbow may appear above the falls. The overlook is a popular place for photographs, so expect company at busy times.
For more viewpoints, continue along the Niagara Parkway promenade. The walk passes views of the American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls before reaching Horseshoe Falls. You can also return after dark to see the falls illuminated.
