You have to be 25 except in limited circumstances to rent a car here. I have no idea if that rule applies to foreign visitors. Buses are probably your best bet, but don't expect them to be super cheap.

Niagara for a day is fine. Upstate New York is also beautiful, but it's low-key beautiful.

Shame you have to go to Dallas. I can think of few worse places to be in high summer. I can't really recommend ... anything ... in the area, either. If you get a chance to drive or bus down to Austin (3-4 hours), give it a shot.
