The stop typically lasts 10-15 minutes and may vary depending on timing and guest preference.

  4. Shannon Falls Provincial Park

    20 min

    Visit Shannon Falls Provincial Park, home to one of British Columbia's tallest waterfalls. Watch as cascading water drops over 1,100 feet down granite cliffs surrounded by lush forest.
