I have visited Margaret Falls near Tappan, BC for the first time, along with other members of our social club from Kamloops. It's one of the most spectacular falls I have ever seen. It is truly a natural wonder and is very breathtaking & a popular tourist sight. The shale rock layer formations along the trail to the falls are extensive and very high. It's like walking on the inside of a mountain that has opened up in the center, formed and worn down over time by the rushing waters of the stream. There are giant ancient fallen trees all around and others that are still standing tall. At the falls there is a lookout point that you can step out onto that puts you closer to it and you can feel the light mist from the cascading water that foams up at the bottom of the falls.

Even at the base of the falls there’s a very reassuring and solid steel platform that lets you get close without being at risk.
From start to finish it is well planned and I was impressed to see the effort and resources that went into making these falls so easy to visit.
The road to get here is a bit of a windy adventure but a great stopover if you...
