Very beautiful waterfall

A few kilometers before the town of Pemberton, the Green River cascades down a gorge to form Nairn Falls. Access to the falls is via Highway 99, about 25 km east of Whistler. From the large parking lot, the falls are reached after 1,500 meters on a beautiful, almost level forest trail. The water cascades approximately 36 meters into the gorge in two stages. https://www.worldwaterfalldatabase.com/waterfall/Nairn-Falls-2062 Nairn Falls are popular and attract numerous visitors, partly due to the convenient location of the parking lot directly on Highway 99. https://bcparks.ca/nairn-falls-park/

The approximately 48-kilometer-long Baden-Powell Trail stretches from Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver to Deep Cove in North Vancouver and leads through the densely forested North Shore Mountains. A section of the trail, approximately three kilometers long, runs through Lynn Canyon Park - from Lillooet Road in the south to Dempsey Road near the bus stop. https://hiiker.app/trails/british-columbia/greater-vancouver/baden-powell-trail/map

From the southern vantage point of Brandywine Falls, you have a magnificent view of Daisy Lake Reservoir and Black Tusk Mountain in the Garibaldi Ranges of the Coast Mountains. The Daisy Lake Reservoir was created in 1926 after the construction of the Cheakamus Dam; the dam was replaced in 1984. The reservoir is part of the Cheakamus Hydroelectric Power Plant on the Squamish River. https://www.bchydro.com/energy-in-bc/operations/transmission-reservoir-data/previous-reservoir-elevations/lower-mainland/daisy_lake_dsy.html

Spahats Creek flows west from the Trophy Mountains, crossing the area's basalt formation. Upstream of Spahats Creek Falls, the creek has carved itself into a 23-meter-deep gorge and then plunges over the waterfall 61 meters into a massive canyon, emptying into the Clearwater River a few hundred meters later. The canyon is the result of glacial meltwater that flowed over the edge of the Clearwater Valley about 11,000 years ago. After the Ice Age, the stream receded into the comparatively small Spahats Creek. Spahats Creek was once known as Bear Creek. Spahats is a native word for bear.

Shannon Falls is often described as one of the highest waterfalls in British Columbia, but its exact height is not confirmed. The height of the falls is given as 335.3 metres. This value has since been disputed, with reference to information on contour lines on topographic maps. Based on this, the height is estimated at around 250 metres; only the lower 140 metres are visible from the lookout points. Shannon Creek and Falls were named after the William Shannon, who settled in the area in 1889. (Visit June 5, 2018 & May 14, 2023) https://www.worldwaterfalldatabase.com/waterfall/Shannon-Falls-1969
