The new rockfall which even carried over part of the pedestrian railing that lined the walkway, was the second largest in history. Newly found cracks may mean other rockslides soon. Hoping to prevent further erosion and preserve the beauty of the Falls, army engineers have been at work for three years now diverting, channeling and distribut ing the flow of water into prettier patterns. All of which might give the traveler good reason to head this way again. Of the million people who visit the Falls e~ch year, only a few view the cataract from every pos - sible vantage point, or see the full sceni c grandeur of the territory on both sides of the gorge. The Falls are divided into three separate water falls: the American Falls, Luna Falls, sometimes called the Bridal Veil, and the Horseshoe or Cana dian Falls. You can get a different perspective of the Falls by taking an elevator to the bottom where you can look up at the tremendous curtain of water and see th e pile of rock that fell last year.
