    As a new attraction at the Capilano Suspension Bridge they have what is called the tree top adventure. It's all included with your access to the suspension bridge but you get way up there on top of these massive trees and then walk throughout the living forest literally from the tops of the trees walking via suspension bridges connection to the trees. I would certainly recommend this adventure and view of the forest.

    The Capilano Suspension Bridge is an easy drive using the Trans Canada Hwy North of the city. The bridge offers fantastic tree top views of the valley below (230 feet) and the pathway on the other side meanders down the valley to the Capilano river. The attraction also offers a tea house, living forest exhibits, a deck along the edge of the canyon, carving centre and the "loggers grill" restaurant. COST....$21.95...A little bit too expensive!

    One overwhelming interest of guests to Capilano Suspension Bridge and Park is the flora and fauna of the West Coast rain forest. While the forest itself remains untouched, the Living Forest at the west landing provides panels with interactive displays, fun facts and "what's that tree?" identification clues. Bug boxes show creepy crawlies at work in the soil. The giant "Naturalist's Notebook" panels illustrate life in the ponds and the world of a fallen tree. Visitors are well informed for their stroll through the rain forest, past tranquil trout ponds and majestic evergreens. If your into eco-tourism this another great add on to your capilano tour.

    Totem Park
    by jamiesno

    Part of Capilano's captivating story involves the tradition of placing totem poles on the grounds at Capilano Suspension Bridge and Park. In the 1930's Mac MacEachran invited local natives to place their poles in the park, adding a native theme. Those colourful poles are maintained in the exact condition in which they were received and are on display in the Totem Park. If you participate in the tour of the site, you will get a good explanation between the differences in the totem poles and the regions in which they were carved as well as interpretation of the tools used to build the bridge and the history of the area and why the bridge was built originally. I couldn't help but imagine how hard that bridge was to build or work in the logging industry backs in its start up days.

    Suspension Bridge
    by jamiesno

    Capilano Suspension Bridge and Park is Vancouver's oldest and most famous attraction, drawing over 800,000 visitors and 450 tour operators annually. Originally built in 1889, today's bridge is the fourth bridge at this location, 450 feet across and 230 feet above Capilano River. This is not as daring as you might think, but I guess if your afraid of heights it maybe an issue or if it started to swing back and forth but it is very safe structurly. Next visit I am going to try and get to the Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge apparently not as long but free and higher up.

    Native Drum Dancing
    by jamiesno

    The Capilano Suspension bridge and park is actually located on in an area with rich First Nations history, I beleive it is also on the Squamish Indian Reserve, Canada's richest reserve. As a part of the park tour I received some first nations people gave a talk about their history and done some drum dancing. This was interesting if you are into cultural stuff, I just have one small problem with it. I have done a lot of travel in the north and there is value if authenticity. This is more touristic for sure and I found it almost humourous when I say these young white students dancing around with masks and stuff on, you can see some of them in this picture. I think the presentation would be much better without them personally so we could concentrate more on the drumming and the words of the more authentic drummers.

    The Capilano Suspension Bridge is definitely a must-see because you get to walk on a suspension bridge that sways and creaks and spans 450 feet across and 230 feet above the Capilano River. You really think the bridge is not strong enough to hold all these people, but they claim it is strong enough to support the weight of ten heavy-duty military fighter planes. The admission to the park is $21.95 for adults and $16.50 for students with ID. (I've seen a $1 off per person coupon somewhere. You can find it on the web.)

    The suspension footbridge crosses 230 feet above the Capilano River, a very natural setting only 10 minutes from downtown. It is on the same road that leads to the cable station for Grouse Mountain so you can easily combine the two. It is very tacky and touristy but it is worth it to cross over the bridge even if you are scared of heights as I am. I saw an episode of ‘funniest home videos’ where a woman was too scared to walk across but was determined to get to the other side so she got down on all fours and crawled, whichever way you do it, do it. Apparently Lynn Canyon is Vancouver’s best kept secret but I did not know about it when I was there (that’s how secret it is, shhh you didn’t hear it from me!).

    As well as the gardens and suspension bridge, they have just opened a tree top adventure at the park with suspended walkways through the tree tops. A bit pricey at $23.00 but worth it.
