Description

Added by Ian Tyley

This unique suspension bridge offers scenic forest views just 15 minutes from downtown Vancouver.

This is a great place to visit to get a feeling for the outdoors of Canada. The bridge is a little scary when a lot of people are walking across, but it is well worth the look.

Measuring 140 m (460 ft) long, the bridge crosses over the Capilano River in the District of North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and sits 70 m (230 ft) above the river.

Beautiful views, I think it's one of the longest suspension bridges in the world? It was pretty cool to walk on. Only downside is it is pretty popular and kinda pricey.

It was a little expensive. Very beautiful scenes but there was a good amount of people. There is a canyon with a suspension bridge to the east that is free and was very beautiful as well.

You might be a little hesitant to pay the price (show your student ID for some solid discounts), but it's definitely worth it if you can avoid the crowds. We went on a cloudy day, and it added to the mood really nicely and made for some cool shots.

Photograph the Cleveland Dam

Once you park in the parking lot near the dam, its fairly easy to tell where it is, and how to get there. The awesome spillway looks like one of the worlds most dangerous slides, (don't slide down it), and Capilano Lake and the peaks of the Lions make for a great backdrop in North Vancouver. Photograph the dam, and the cute little green building floating in the lake, and if you are up for it ...
