I'm trying to get driving directions from Washington DC to Niagara Falls but I'm having problems. Anyone have any suggestions on where to look? I've been googling for the past 10 minutes without any luck.

Here's all I found on their website

# Take U.S. Interstate 90 West towards Buffalo
# Proceed to exit #53 (to U.S. 190 North)
# Sign says, "Bridge to Canada"
# Drive approximately 8 miles
# Follow exit #9 to the Peace Bridge
# Cross the Peace Bridge into Canada
# In Canada take Hwy Q.E.W. Toronto/Niagara
# Drive 18 miles to Niagara Falls
# Take the McLeod Rd exit
# Turn right onto McLeod Rd

Except I dunno how to get to I-90 from here :eek:

er, yeah mcleod rd. might end up just getting you lost if you stay on it. ;)

i would keep going on the QEW until you hit the 420 (pun intended) and that will dump you straight into tourist-town

Go west across MD to get to 79, take 79N to 90. Or get into PA, take the turnpike west to 79N.

Do you know where I-95 is? :p Take that to I-287 (It's a bit before New York), take that to I-87, take that to Albany and pick up I-90 there, and follow the directions you have from there.

Get near Niagara Falls.

look for idiot tourists walking randomly across roads as if there were no traffic. You can not miss it from miles away.

MapPoint

Type your address in, type "Niagara Falls, NY" as your destination, and then when you get there, look around for the border, its hard to miss.

I would take 270, 70, then 81 to Syracuse, then drive west on 90.

Although Google advises driving to Pittsburgh on 70, then north to Erie, then driving East to the Buffalo area on I-90.

if you're going to syracuse you might as well go up 81 to Kingston or Montreal or something.

From Philly:

NE Extension of the turnpike all the way too I-81N, I-81N to I-90 W and you're there.

So take 95N to the extension. Its very simple!

Slowly I turned...step by step, inch by inch... bwahahahaha!

Every time I hear "Niagara Falls" I cannot help but remember those words from that famous Three Stooges Short...

Gee I must seem really old to most of the folks here.
