The drive is just across the Lions Gate Bridge and is fun to see but be warned the price is not cheap. Once in the park you can stay as long as you like and the atmosphere can be relaxing.... If you suffer from vertigo the bridge crossing might be a tough one

	Capilano Suspension Bridge: Capilano Suspension Bridge

Bridge over troubled
waters...well, ok, nice
water

This bridge is one of Vancouver's most well-known and visited sites. The original bridge, built for Scottish engineer and Stanley Park builder George Grant Mackay in 1888, when he purchased property over in North Vancouver around the Capilano River. The orignal bridge was made of hemp rope and cedar. Since 1888, the bridge has been rebuilt several times, with the current structure dating from 1956, and thankfully is much more safer than the original!

Walking acorss the bridge is a mixture of wonder and being scared crapless. Below you, you'll see the dense forest gorge where the Capilano River runs cuts through, while the bridge jiggles around with every footstep. You'll be rewarded once you cross to the other side, where trails take you into dense British Columbian rainforest.

Directions: On the other side of the harbor in North Vancouver. Follow the signs or visit the website for better directions.

My buddy Lyzz wasn't
skeered

This was actually scarier than I thought it would be! I think it's something like 450 feet across and 230 feet above the floor of the Capilano Canyon. It's really cool, albeit touristy.

Well the suspension bridge has to be the most overhyped tourist attraction in Canada, and quite a let down.

CAD$27 inc GST to get in, plus the $3 car park fee, and all u get is to walk over a rickety bridge (which apparantly holds 2 Boeing 747s!) which actually isnt even that high, only to get over the other side to find nothing but a few boardwalks and kids games.

Definately a good attraction for kids as there is face painting and people dressed up as you enter the attraction.

But it has to be done, if only for the tannoys "DO NOT SWAY THE BRIDGE!"
