Sea to Sky Highway
Travel along the winding Sea to Sky Highway on the awe-inspiring journey to Whistler + Shannon Falls. This legendary highway is packed with wonders including immense mountain ranges, dramatic waterfalls, and old-growth rainforests. Keep your camera handy – the Sea to Sky is also home to black bears, eagles, and diverse variety of wildlife.
Shannon Falls Park
Between the hustle and bustle of Whistler and Vancouver you will have a chance to unwind in the forests of the spectacular Shannon Falls Park. Stroll the scenic boardwalk through the towering rainforest and old growth treestumps to the misty base of Shannon Falls itself, a 335-metre (1,105-foot) cascade roaring along Shannon Creek to merge with the waters of Howe Sound. There are plenty of gentle trails and benches for hiking and picnics, all of which are sure to include the "wow" factor of natural life on the westcoast.
