Visitors Center at The Falls

This is the sight out of our dining window this morning.  It looks pretty cloudy but it should be clearing up.

It is cool out, low 50s.

I will post pictures of the ride in the next post.  After the ride, I had Manuel wait for me and I went back to the Visitors Center to pick up the car. 

It must have been at least a mile, so I got my walking for the day.   I took a few pictures on the way.
