  Niagara Falls, created by the Wisconsin Glacial episode (from 85,000 to 11,000 years ago), became a tourist destination in the early nineteenth century. Since that time, preservationists and entrepreneurs have struggled to balance the opportunity to see the massive natural attraction against visitors' demands for safe, and ideally comfortable, access to the best viewing spots. This image from the late nineteenth century shows one of the nearly annual ice mountains, built up of mist and spray from the American Falls, adjacent to the covered Prospect Park Incline Railway, which carried visitors between the top and the bottom of the gorge.
