Just love watching Grinder and Coola on webcam. A great way to see them in their own environment. We are from Australia and visit Vancouver when we can. Have been watching the antics of these 2 amazing bears for many years. Thank you Grouse Mountain for giving us the opportunity to see Grinder and Coola on the webcams. Sleep well boys and we will look in on you every day. Keith and Karen

Only 15 minutes from downtown Vancouver, allow 2 - 3 hours for your visit to Vancouver's iconic Capilano Suspension Bridge, hanging 450 feet (137m) across and 230 feet (70m) above Capilano River. The park offers more than just the bridge. Its surrounding 27 acres celebrate nature, history and culture in unique and thrilling ways. No more so than with the newest attraction, CLIFFWALK. Cliffwalk hangs for 213m (700ft) and reaches 91m (300ft) high, hugging the granite cliffside and offering a panoramic view of the thriving rainforest and canyon far below. On Treetops Adventure venture from one magnificent old growth Douglas-fir to another on a series of seven elevated suspension bridges, reaching as high as 110 feet (33m), for a squirrel's eye view of the forest. Guides, signage and interactive exhibits throughout the park help you in your understanding of rainforest ecosystems and their sustainability.

Lynn Canyon is a beautiful, densely forested, natural park located in North Vancouver. The park has a variety of well-maintained, easy and accessible hiking trails, some waterfalls and gorgeous lush plant life. Lynn Canyon is a peaceful place to go for a hike and enjoy the gorgeous natural environment. The main attraction here is the suspension bridge which crosses a deep gorge. It is a fantastic (and free) alternative to the more expensive and touristy Capilano Suspension Bridge nearby. I was amazed at how tall the trees were in the park and it was cool to see so much moss and vines growing on and hanging from the trees. There were lots of ferns a gorgeous variety of plants. It felt like I was in a rainforest. I spent a morning at Lynn Canyon during my visit in May 2017. The trails were quiet and beautiful as they led through dense and lush foliage with a series of boardwalks and lots of wooden steps along the way for a great leg workout. I visited Twin Falls, a pretty waterfall that could be seen before crossing the suspension bridge. After crossing the bridge, follow the boardwalk to the right and the trail will lead to a better viewpoint of the falls. The 50 metrer high suspension bridge was the highlight of my visit. It stretched across a deep canyon with waterfalls and a powerfully flowing river below. It bounced and swayed as I crossed, which was a little freaky, but still an amazing experience. There were fantastic views and photo opportunities of the scenery while standing in the middle of the bridge. If you arrive early enough in the morning when the park opens, you can get good photos of the bridge with nobody else on it. The 30 foot pool was an interesting place to see, and could be found after crossing the bridge, turning left and walking for about 20 minutes. Along the edge of the rushing river, there were calm pools of water in between the large rocks where you could go swimming. There were beautiful views of this area from the top of the wooden set of steps. Lastly, I visited the Pipe Bridge. The bridge was built over top of a pipe that crossed the canyon. This was located on the edge of the park, after hiking from the 30 foot pool. It was peaceful there and I found amazing views of the canyon and surrounding forest. The hikes in the park were not too difficult, aside from some steps. I arrived to the park using public transport from downtown Vancouver and it took 3 buses to get there, but was easy and straightforward. The best part about the park, is the free entrance and opportunity for anyone to explore the beautiful nature there. There was a visitor's centre and cafe at the entrance to the park as well (with washrooms). Lynn Canyon is a gorgeous natural paradise in a temperate rainforest, with hiking trails and an amazing suspension bridge. This park is worth visiting when in Vancouver and is a wonderful escape from the city life.
