Cave Of The Winds - Niagara Falls, New York U.S.A. (Pre- Pandemic)

Cave of the Winds
The original "Cave of the Winds" was a cavern located behind the Bridal Veil Falls. The cave was an overhanging ledge of Lockport Dolostone rock at the top portion of the gorge which originally protruded more than 100 feet over which flowed the waters of the Bridal Veil Falls. The outcropping (or overhang) of rock created a cavern behind the sheet of falling water of the Bridal Veil Falls. This cavern became known as the world famous "Cave of the Winds".
In 1901, this cavern originally measured approximately 130 feet high, 100 feet wide and 100 feet in depth. by 1955, the depth of this cavern, because of rock falls had been reduced
to approximately 30 feet.
This cavern was originally discovered by Joseph W. Ingraham. Mr. Ingraham had spotted the cave from above the gorge.The first two persons to walk behind the Bridal Veil Falls into this cavern were Barry Hill White and George Sims. They named it "Aeolus' Cave" after the Greek God of the Winds.
Mr. Ingraham who along with many others did not like the original name, renamed the cavern "Cave of the Winds".
