Visit The Margaret Falls In British Columbia With Teresa The Traveler

Above Photo: Teresa the Traveler.

On my travels around British Columbia I came across a lady who has some wonderful websites, videos, photographs and so much more.

Teresa the Traveler will guide you through this great province to make your next holiday,
or a days outing one you will remember.

Teresa the Traveler tells you how to get to Margaret Falls on beautiful 
Shuswap Lake in Salmon Arm, British Columbia.

If you are looking for a short scenic walking moderate trail, the 
Margaret Falls Trail is the one for you.

A 15-minute walk up Reinecker Creek through a rock chasm and over numerous wooden bridges brings you to the magnificent Margaret Falls.

Fall Colours And Twin Falls Smithers British Columbia (Photo/Videos)


Above Photo: One of the two waterfalls, this one has a lot of water rushing over the rock and a long drop down into the creek below.

My wife and I took a drive out to the Twin Falls in Smithers, B. C. today so I could grab some photos and video of the falls. 


Above Photo: On the right hand side of the picture, you will notice the second and smaller waterfall of the two. Both are awesome to see.

From the parking lot, it is a short, and easy hike to the falls with picnic tables scattered about if you should need to take a short rest. There is also a viewing platform in which you can stand on and watch the water cascade over the falls and down to the ground. 


Above Photo:  There actually is a third waterfall, when you reach the first of the picnic tables, look to your right, and up to see another Falls.

Above Photo: The water in the creek takes on a slight glacial colour which looks really pretty, 
but it is very cold.

Directly below, two video clips of the Twin Falls.

We also made a few stops along the way, one of them was to Lake Kathlyn, also in Smithers.


Above Photo: Lake Kathlyn is a beautiful lake and just minutes from downtown Smithers.

At another stop I took some photos from, was on the top of Hungry Hill just outside of Houston.


Above Photo: A look back at the mountain and where the Twin Falls are located.
