    Absolutely - And its a nice part of the attraction because you walk over a bridge that looks over the falls. If you are afraid of heights then maybe don't do that but I loved it although there were some moments with weak legs.

    You have to pass through but not sure about whether its closed down. Apparently, its called the Rainbow Bridge. Its worth walking over if you ask me.

    And here is some information about 2021 tourism. Looks like everything is open.

    The walk once you get over the bridge towards the actual falls where you get a chance to walk to the base is also fantastic. Just a gorgeous area of Canada.

    While I doubt I'll have much time because everything is crazy up here. You should enjoy the White Mountains. I live just north of them (I can see Lafeyette from work) and have done some of the Franconia Ridge. Not much of a hiker so I usually break things up a bit. Mount Washington is always cool and fun. Mainly because weather at the summit can be so drastically different from the base. I think it has North America's fastest recorded wind speed still. Really cool stuff up there. If you're camping, bring suitable warm gear as it can get into the 40s and 50s at night even now. Could be warmer of course, I just like to warn everyone because we usually have pretty heavy temp swings (sometimes 30+ degrees a day) up here. Remember to bring the right hiking gear and stuff too. If you know when you'll be around message me I can see if I will have time, but odds are I'm working or doing something hobby related for the next few weeks.

    I should have gotten to you this am- I had a domestic issue that was unavoidable-we had to cancel plans -
    How was it ? Weather was good but pretty muggy over there I’m sure ...

    If you happen to be in Denver for the Braves series over Labor Day weekend, let me know. Planning to go to at least 3 of the 4 games.

    What’s your route from non-specific-Wyoming to Glacier?

    Don't think I'll be there by then. Won't be in COL until end of September.

    It saddens me to report that great leader got lost hiking in the dark and ran into a family of bears.

    They were fussy about papers even before covid. Make sure you have either a passport or one of those enhanced drivers licenses.

    You should cut across northern Nebraska after Omaha—I'd head to Sioux City, then Yankton, then over to Highway 20, then hit Chadron, Nebraska, before you head up to Hot Springs, SD, and the Needles Highway. Really beautiful, wildly-sparse butte country—a very different topography than the prairies of farther-south Nebraska—followed by some beautiful grasslands as you head north into the Black Hills (and it is worth it to head over to Oglala National Grassland before you turn north). You can get some famous Sioux City loosemeat sandwiches, either at the Tastee Inn & Out (if you're in a rush) or the Miles Inn (if you want a cold beer in a golblet along with it). Then there's a nice, neon-inflected historic downtown scene in Yankton—plus it was the territorial capital for a while, so there's a lot of pioneer history down that road. Then, if you've crossed Nebraska and want to stay in Chardon, there's an awesome historic hotel called the Olde Main Street Inn; it's attached to the 77 Longbranch Saloon, which has a surprisingly good local beer selection to knock the road dust off.

    From Devil's Tower, I'd skip West Dakota entirely (unless you want to pop up to Alzada, MT, to have a drink at the otherwise-isolated Stoneville Saloon, a famous stop for the Sturgis-bound hordes, but otherwise a sleepy, grungy bar in a sleepy, desolate town of 23 people), and just cut straight over to Cody, WY; then enter Yellowstone from the NE entrance. Not sure how long you'll stay in Yellowstone, or how much of it you'll traverse, but I like the northern exit perhaps the best, and it provides you the opportunity to shoot up to Livingston, MT, which is another cute little historic town with some good restaurants and bars (including a solid little tiki & sushi place called Neptune's).

    At that point, you'll be in Actual Montana (as opposed to West Dakota), and the sky's the limit (Big Sky pun intended). What's your route between Yellowstone and Glacier? That's a lot of country, and a lot of possible routes.
