Description

Added by Ian Tyley

Take a short, 1km roundtrip walk to this stunning 70 metre waterfall.

Brandywine Falls is a spectacular 70 metre waterfall. It is best seen from the viewpoint which also presents some marvelous views of Daisy Lake and the surrounding mountains. But you can also get to the bottom with a bit of scrambling down the side of the cliff.

Brandywine Falls is located along the Sea To Sky Highway (Highway #99) between Squamish and Whistler. Located just 11km (7 miles) south of Whistler on the east side of the Sea To Sky Highway, Brandywine Falls is easily accessible with a large parking lot and markings to the start of the short walk to the falls.

This is a good leg stretcher if you're in for a long drive along the Sea-to-Sky!

Can make a quick little stop when driving on 99 towards Whistler. Easy parking and a very short trek to the viewpoint of the falls!

The scramble down the cliff is a little treacherous, but the view from the bottom is worth it. There's one cliff towards the beginning you have to climb/jump down which is the one tough spot. My 6'6 boyfriend could handle it fine but I took the simpler path to the right which goes through a small water spring and avoids the cliff. After you get past that spot it's a pretty easy climb to the bottom then a couple minute walk through the forest. About 1-2hrs roundtrip depending how long you hang at the bottom.
