The Howe Sound is a series of steep coastal mountains that abruptly emerge from the ocean inlet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many waterfalls are coming down the sides of the mountains, but one is more famous than the rest. Shannon Falls are the third highest falls in British Columbia, cascading down from over 335m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though I found the falls a bit overcrowded, I still think everyone should stop here and decide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After all, the falls are super easy to get to. There are a number of trails and viewpoints, from the 200m base trail to the more advanced upper viewpoint, which is achievable in about 30 minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The parking situation at Shannon Falls is a bit ridiculous. There are certainly more cars than spots during the high season, and drivers become quite aggressive when fighting for spots.

The viewing deck is a 2.1km uphill hike that should take around 30 minutes to complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At a height of 66 meters, it\u2019s less than a fifth of the size of Shannon Falls, but as you have probably heard before, size doesn&#8217;t matter, right?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my eyes, the Brandywine Falls are\u00a0way prettier. I felt the urge to discover more and scrambled to the bottom of the falls. It can be a bit dangerous, and the last thing I want is to\u00a0get you into trouble.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cc-m-header-11679549799\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Spot_a_black_bear\"><\/span>8.

Whether in Squamish or Whistler, you should be able to spot at least one black bear. I spotted one even when I wasn&#8217;t actively looking for one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bear was munching on dandelions right next to the car park in the town centre! One morning, I decided to go on a self-organized bear safari.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I drove down the Callaghan road (around 10 km south of Whistler towards Whistler Olympic Park), which is known for high black bear activity. Within a couple of kilometres, one bear was feeding on the side of the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It didn&#8217;t seem to care about humans&#8217; presence, and I got a chance to take many great photos from a safe distance while sitting in the car. Around half an hour later, I spotted another one driving down the Alta road closer to Whistler.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Just remember not to feed any\u00a0wildlife. A fed bear is a dead bear. If bears become too accustomed to humans, they become a threat to us and have to be destroyed. So again, DON&#8217;T FEED THE WILDLIFE. Leave behind any food scraps or put the trash into overflowing trash cans. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#48bda336\"><strong>TIP:<\/strong> When on Callaghan Road, check out Alexander Falls.

I was so grateful I didn&#8217;t have to\u00a0drag my camera equipment up a hill and could spare my energy\u00a0enjoying the ride to the top and hiking along the ridgelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, Mother Nature had other plans for me. At the end of May, there was still so much snow up on the top that the hiking areas were fenced off due to high avalanche risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, I&#8217;ve opted to ride\u00a0the Guinness World Record-breaking Peak to Peak Gondola a few times and enjoyed the views suspended up to 450 meters above the ground between two peaks! The ride was exhilarating, to say the least, and it is a must-do when in Whistler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you travel during the hiking season, usually mid-June until late September, you can join a guided hike from Whistler Mountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-gyg-href=\"https:\/\/widget.getyourguide.com\/default\/availability.frame\" data-gyg-tour-id=\"416488\" data-gyg-locale-code=\"en-US\" data-gyg-currency=\"CAD\" data-gyg-widget=\"availability\" data-gyg-variant=\"horizontal\" data-gyg-partner-id=\"TYYOXUU\" data-gyg-cmp=\"Whistler_guided_hike\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cc-m-header-11686398599\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Garibaldi_Lake_Panorama_Ridge\"><\/span>10.
