The great and scenic Shannon Falls
» One of BC’s most graceful waterfalls

Ea amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, our family will
always find a way to spend time together and witness
BC’s jaw-dropping and amazing nature. I can say that
it seems almost endless. Two Sundays ago, we went to
Squamish to explore the great Shannon Falls Provincial
Park. To my surprise, the falls are far beyond what you see
in pictures—they are completely surreal.
This natural phenomenon is unique—just like the
rest of the waterfalls in BC. The falls, according to the BC
Parks website, “is composed of a series of cliffs, rising 335
metres above Highways 99, making it the third-highest
falls in the province, ranking behind 481-metre Della Falls
in Strathcona Provincial Park on Vancouver Island and
396-metre Hunlen Falls in Tweedsmuir Provincial Park
near Bella Coola.” The park is great not only for sightseeing
but also for hiking and picnicking. It is also connected
to Stawamus Chief Provincial Park. The parking lot has
a decent amount of space, but it is always convenient to
arrive early so you and your family can have the falls for
yourselves. Ifyou are going early, make sure to bring a
jacket because it is going to be a bit chilly.
The falls are simply amazing to look at. They are very
tall and look quite dangerous, especially if you imagine
yourself on top of the falls. Some hikers say that on top,
the water pools are indeed crystal clear and extremely
beautiful. For experienced hikers, Shannon Falls should be
on your bucket list. I say experienced hikers because the
terrain along the way is quite challenging—it is steep and
there are lots of rocks to climb over. This terrain led to the
loss of three YouTube vloggers two years ago, according
to CBC News. This is not to instigate fear, but everyone
should know that hiking through the top of the falls
requires extra precaution—never come unprepared.
What also makes the falls stunning is the towering
trees that are surrounding it. They really add grace to the
overall feeling of the place. The soothing sound of the
tumbling water plays a role as well. Going there was an
escape from society and was very refreshing. Shannon
Falls is a genuinely nice place to hang out with friends and
family. If you ever want to travel to Squamish or Whistler,
make sure to stop at this scenic destination—you won't
regret it.
