The
Two RV Gypsies: Full-Time RVers |
|
Just down the road from the gondola, the two RV Gypsies came to Shannon Falls in Squamish, British Columbia, Canda, It is a "do NOT miss" natural roadside attraction. There was free parking at Shannon Falls Provincial Park, and the two RV Gypsies found it to be an easy ten minute walk on a woodland trail to the waterfall’s base.The two RV Gypsies looked up — and up some more. Shannon Falls is about 1,100 feet tall, a prodigious skein of water that poured off cliff faces.Note: Visitors can also walk from Shannon Falls to the Sea to Sky Gondola parking area; about 10 minutes on a flat trail paralleling the highway. But the two RV Gypsies had already been to Shannon Falls earlier. |
Shannon Falls is the sixth highest waterfall in British Columbia. Shannon Creek collects its water from Mount Habrich and Sky Pilot Mountain before taking an unrestrained 1,100 foot plummet down a granite cliff face on its way to Howe Sound, one of the continent's most southerly fjords. |

Shannon Falls is a classic cascade falls, whose waters pour down precipitously by non-vertical walls in braided tiers and horsetails, as opposed to plunge falls which flow over a ledge and drop vertically without contacting its rock face. |
