Shannon Falls: The Most Accessible Waterfall Near Vancouver! 🌊

Around Vancouver, there are some attractions that aren’t exactly "hidden gems" but still fly under the radar. In my opinion, Shannon Falls (also known as "Shennong Falls" in some translations) is one of them. 📷 While it may not be as famous as its neighbors—the Stawamus Chief and the Sea to Sky Gondola—this 335-meter-tall cascade is one of the tallest and most impressive waterfalls in BC, absolutely worth a visit! 📷 If you're lucky, you might even spot film or TV crews shooting in the surrounding forests. In winter, you might catch a rare frozen waterfall spectacle—though the coastal climate here is usually too mild for consistent ice formations. ❄️ 📷 Located just 2 km from Squamish, Shannon Falls is super easy to reach. As you approach Squamish, watch for the signs, take a quick right turn, and voilà! From the parking lot, it’s only a 5-10 minute walk to the viewpoint—making it one of the most accessible yet stunning waterfalls around. 📷 #VancouverLife #MyCityDiary #Waterfalls #ExploreBC #SeaToSky #EasyHikes #NatureLover
