NOTE: A movie can also be seen by going to TOC-Movies then choosing the Letter C then to Cave of the Winds.
Unfortunately the camera got wet when the above mentioned video was filmed on July 28th and the grande finale could not be filmed -- the two RV Gypsies and their grandson, Alex Jones, got soaked and felt Niagara Falls with the wind force and rain of a class 1 hurricane.
After viewing the movie, scroll down and view the photos from their trip on July 24, 2011 and learn the history of The Cave of the Winds, and be sure to view the video later.

Alex Jones getting closer to the Hurricane Deck at Cave of the Winds.
On this first trip, Karen never put the hood of her poncho up, so the
water went all down inside her poncho and her clothes were totally drenched.
While
there is NO actual cave anymore, the original cave was a natural cave behind
Bridal Veil Falls 130 feet high, 100 feet wide and 30 feet in depth. It
was discovered in 1834, and originally dubbed Aeolus' Cave, after the Greek
god of winds. Guided tours began officially in 1841, and continued until
a rock fall in 1920 made it clear the passage was no longer safe. The cave
was obliterated in a massive 1954 rock fall and subsequent dynamiting of
a dangerous overhang. The tour officially reopened in 1924, now bringing visitors to the front of the Bridal Veil instead of behind it.
