Saint Francis Wolf Sanctuary in Navasota (approximately 30-40 minutes from Montgomery) is dedicated to rescuing and providing lifelong care for wolves and wolfdogs that cannot be released back into the wild. Many of these animals come from difficult backgrounds, but at the sanctuary, they receive the loving, compassionate care they deserve in a stable, nurturing environment. Saint Francis also focuses on educating the public about the challenges facing wolves and wolfdogs, while dispelling common myths about these incredible creatures. The sanctuary welcomes visitors, including community organizations, groups, and individuals, by appointment. Don’t forget to visit the website to learn more about each animal’s unique story!

Journey Behind the Falls is a year-round attraction that affords a unique view of the Falls from below and behind. You’ll descend 45 meters by elevator, where a short tunnel gives access to two outdoor observation decks and two portals located directly behind the Falls. At Journey Behind the Falls, you'll experience the awesome spectacle of one-fifth of the world’s fresh water crashing down to the basin below. During summer daylight hours, over 2,800 cubic meters of water thunder over the brink every second, traveling 65 kilometers per hour. Your Journey Behind the Falls visit will take 30 to 45 minutes and in the spring and summer months, you'll receive a free souvenir biodegradable rain poncho as protection from the mist of the Falls. Elevators descend 150 feet through bedrock to tunnels that lead to the Cataract Portal and the Great Falls Portal which is one third of the way behind the massive sheet of water. Then you walk on to the Upper and Lower Observation Decks at the very foot of the Falls. Posters of information are a great resource of information about the history and evolution of the hallways you walk through. Journey Behind the Falls is an iconic Niagara Falls experience, so make sure you take a waterproof camera.
