Shannon Falls

Shannon Falls is one of the easiest-to-reach 1000 base+ waterfalls in North America. Situated less than 45 minutes north of Vancouver, British Columbia, Shannon Creek flumes downward the mountain surface and into Howe Sound, one of the majority easy to get to fjords in North America. Usually, the falls are scheduled as being exactly 1100 feet tall, though, they have been re deliberate recently, and a more precise figure was recognized. It's somewhat hard to accept the falls as being truly 1100 feet tall when presentation them from the base, due to important foreshortening. However, when seen as of the air, or from on the waters of Howe Sound, it's clear that this figure is correct. We estimate that merely around 700 feet of the falls can be seen as of the base (as seen below), with slightly more noticeable from the parking area.
