]]>Get Familiar With the Parade Schedule
There will be all sorts of parades taking place in New Orleans during Mardi Gras. Make sure to get familiar with the parade schedule so you know at which time they start and which route they use and avoid missing the ones you want to see.
Be Early for the Best Views

Leave Valuables at the Accommodation
Large crowds at Mardi Gras guarantee chaos making it easy to lose or damage your valuables. It is best to leave them at your accommodation and enjoy peace of mind. Just bring what you absolutely need and make sure to protect it.
Wear Comfy Shoes and Dress in Layers
You probably want to look festive for Mardi Gras and blend in with the vibrant surroundings. But in doing so, make sure to wear comfy shoes and dress in layers. You will be doing a lot of walking and standing, so protecting your feet will help you do the same thing day after day.

]]>Oldest State Park
The Park where Niagara Falls resides is the oldest state park in America—some title to live up to, huh? It was established in 1885 under the name Niagara Reservation by environmental activists who bought it to protect it from being exploited for commercial purposes. Like.
(@spiritual_spunky)But… Not That Old!
If we switch to geological talk for a minute, it turns out that Niagara Falls is actually a toddler. They were created as part of some glacial melt action taking place at the very end of the previous Ice Age, i.e., roughly 12k years ago. While that sounds like a lot, geologically speaking, it’s practically nothing.
8+ Million Visitors Per Year
Niagara Falls is truly astounding, so it may not come as a surprise that numerous visitors head up to see it every year. But more than 8 million people from different countries? Who would have guessed? Yes, this location really is that popular, folks, so get in line.
First Hydroelectric Power Plant
It turns out that Niagara Falls was the home of the first-ever hydroelectric power plant in the world! George Westinghouse and Nikola Tesla were the ones who built it in 1885. Fast forward to today, and Niagara Falls can generate 4 million kilowatts of electricity.
