Alright, so I just gotta make a disclosure before I start this video up. If you're in Vancouver Canada and you're heading north
Through Squamish heading up to Whistler. There's actually two amazing waterfalls right there just off the sea to sky highway.
The first one is Shannon Falls. This one's amazing.
It's one of the largest in British Columbia, it's right off the sea to sky highway, a five-minute walk.
It's impossible to miss and
definitely if you're heading up to Whistler, one to check out. There's a second one just before you get into Whistler called Brandywine's Falls.
It's a 15 minute walk from the parking lot.
You get amazing views overlooking the falls and there's some lookout points. A
definitely must stop and see. I can't compete with those ones
so you can probably disregard this video if you're heading up that way and even if you're heading east through the Fraser Valley
There's a third waterfall.
I can't remember what it's called but it's right in Chilliwack, right off the number 1. Again another like 10 15 minute walk.
It's actually a pretty nice waterfall you can walk right under it.
So if you're heading in these directions, you can disregard this video but if you're just staying in Vancouver, Canada
and you want to see some waterfalls,
This video is it. This is the three closest waterfalls worth checking out near Vancouver. Alright, let's start this up.
So yes
If you're in Vancouver, Canada and looking for something different to do, this video for you.
These three waterfalls are located near Vancouver,
accessible by public transportation and
always overlooked by locals and tourists.
All three of these waterfalls are huge, scenic and a must-see if you're in Vancouver, BC
I'm gonna start with Norvan Falls.
Norvan Falls is located in North Vancouver
just across the water from Vancouver.
It's right beside the Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge. Where I will admit you will find some smaller waterfalls
but I wanted to show you the three tallest and largest ones near Vancouver.
So make your way to the Lynn Headwaters Regional Park. From there
you're going to go on an easy two hour hike through British Columbia's backcountry.
Don't worry It's well marked. You'll hike along the river and through the forest.
Alright, so I finally made to the first waterfall. It's a middle of the week
so there's not that many people here but it's totally worth it. Just check this place out.
This is Norvan Falls. One of the three waterfalls i'm going to show you in this video and
this one will probably give you the best pictures.
There's a log right beneath the waterfall, which is the perfect location.
There's also a swimming hole right beneath the waterfall for that one-of-a-kind experience!
Assuming you can handle the glacier-fed water. I would set aside half a day
If you're planning on taking this hike on to Norvan Falls because from the parking lot
it's a two-hour hike to the falls and a two-hour hike back.
Alright, so let's head back to our three waterfalls
Next up is Kennedy Falls
Again, Kennedy Falls is located in North Vancouver and accessible by public
transportation
but it does have a few differences from the other two waterfalls.
This one is just more secluded than the other two.
Again, you will have to hike through BC's backcountry to get to Kennedy Falls and
the hike will require about half a day to complete.
It's just the trails are less maintained than the other two
but it does offer you the best hike out of the three waterfalls. Just be prepared before you take it on.
It's rocky
muddy
but it's well marked so you won't get lost.
I would recommend checking out my Big Cedar Kennedy Falls video if you decide hike to Kennedy Falls.
The quickest trail to Kennedy Falls will pass by this cedar tree.
It's over six hundred years old, one of the largest in British Columbia and
was even, at one time considered the largest tree in the world.
It's worth checking out.
Alright we are at the second waterfall
Kennedy Falls. You can see it in the background
but yeah, let me show you Kennedy falls Now Kennedy Falls is breathtaking.
You just feel like you're completely lost in the forest even though you're relatively close to Vancouver. You just have to be careful
the rocks are slippery the water runs quick and like I said, this one's our most secluded.
Alright, so there's one more waterfall near Vancouver I wanted to show you.
So, this is Cypress Falls in West Vancouver
It's a year-round hike which is the easiest to get to from Vancouver.
It's a short 30 minute walk from the bus stop to the Falls.
The area around Cypress Falls is just as gorgeous as the other two waterfalls and the
one thing I really love about this spot is you can get up close to the top of the Falls.
There's this nice lookout which is right at the top of the waterfall.
Generally speaking this is the perfect spot to visit for an hour or two,
Enjoy nature and since it's right off the trans-canada highway
you can quickly get back to the city or make your way towards something else.
