Shannon Falls
Shannon Falls Provincial Park
A 335-meter waterfall, the third-highest in British Columbia. A viewing platform is only a few minutes' walk from the parking lot, making it the most convenient stop on the Sea-to-Sky Highway.
The falls lie in a provincial park about 2 kilometers south of Squamish. From the parking lot, a forest path leads about 5 minutes to the viewing platform, where you can look up at the water cascading in tiers down the granite cliff. The park is free to enter and has picnic areas and a small shop, but parking costs money. From here it is about a 15-minute walk to the bottom station of the Sea to Sky Gondola, or you can connect to the Stawamus Chief trail. Water flow noticeably decreases in late summer.
