Waterfalls along Highway 99 between Squamish and Pemberton, British Columbia – June 2015

Brandywine Falls is about a fifteen minute drive to the south of Whistler and the viewing platform is only a ten minute walk from the parking lot. A few metres further along is a nice view overlooking Daisy Lake and the Black Tusk.
The turn-off for Alexander Falls is about two kilometres closer to Whistler, but you have to drive about 7 kilometres along Callaghan Road, (This is the road to Whistler Olympic Park), to reach the Falls. The viewing platform here is on the side of the parking lot so you don’t have to walk anywhere.
Nairn Falls is only a couple of kilometres south of Pemberton and the parking lot is right beside the highway. It is a one and a half kilometre walk to the falls, but is an easy level walk along the river.
Each of these falls is unique and impressive to see, yet all are easily accessible. A fourth falls, Shannon Falls, is also located on Highway 99, but is between Squamish and Horseshoe Bay. It’s right beside the highway as well, but I didn’t stop there on this trip.
