Monday 26th July 2010..Shannon Falls!!!

Another early morning start as the family were going to Squamish for golf and Sara and I were going hiking.

The weather was again wonderful and after fighting Vancouver’s traffic we arrived at the rather posh Furry Creek Golf Club.

We watched the team drive away

Shannon Falls is composed of a series of cliffs, rising 335 meters above Highways 99, making it the third highest falls in the province, ranking behind 481 metre Della Falls in Strathcona Provincial Park on Vancouver Island and 396 metre Hunlen Falls in Tweedsmuir Provincial Park near Bella Coola.
The tumbling waters of Shannon Falls originate from Mount Habrich and Mount Sky Pilot.

The falls were quite spectacular..
