    Toronto to Niagara Falls

    Im planning a small weekend getaway to Niagara falls to see family.

    Can anyone suggest a nice scenic route that would take me from Toronto to Niagara falls without using the 401->427->QEW route but something more scenic?

    I do realize that the QEW is the fastest because it hugs the lake, but i've driven that route (by car) almost a hundred times and want something a little bit more enjoyable when i take it on the bike?

    I did search the forums for a similar post but couldnt find anything.

    Thank you in Advance,

    You either have to go thru Toronto or swing north of Hwy 9 then basically follow the escarpment. Ridge road or Hwy 2 once you're past Hamilton. Go thru Hamilton along Mountain Brow.
