Excerpt from Falls View Observation Tower, and Old Burning Spring: Tales of Historic Niagara
The Old Burning Spring is but the first stepping stone of importance in the Falls View Observation Tower, for, as soon as one has heard the guide's story, on the first floor, then up the winding stairs each. One is led to the utmost part of the building where a pleasant balcony is provided for all visitors. Here one may spend hours at a time and never tire of the majestic splendor of Niagara. It'is indeed a difficult task to decide whether the snowy mantle which clothes the great world-wonder in winter makes her more beautiful and picturesque than her garb of summer finery, with the more delicate tint of the summer's hues - a back ground of foliage of green and brown and the blue horizon beyond.
