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.

Alexandra Suspension Bridge is a beautiful piece of BC history. It's situated just below hwy 1 and is a short walk from the road. The original bridge was built as part of the Cariboo Wagon Trail in 1861. The bridge that exists there today was built in 1926 as the original one was destroyed by high waters in the early 1900s. As you walk across the bridge deck you can see the rushing Fraser River below your feet. There's a charm to the bridge which may have something to do with it's rich history and the fever of the gold rush which once brought many people to the area.

The old bridge crosses the Fraser River. There is an osprey nest up on the top, so watch for droppings!! The local natives fish along the banks below. Beautiful mountains all around.

This bridge looks beautiful when it's lit up at night, a monument to Vancouver's cosmopolitan romance and sophistication.

Upgraded a decade or so ago the bridge provides very nice and safe sidewalks for biking and walking. One end is in Stanley Park and people seem to like to walk / ride up to the centre span, from the park to take in the view and take pictures of the many cruise ships / freighters that sail under the bridge to the inner harbour.

I cross the bridge a lot and the design and construction is first class. Removing the tolls made it fantastic. Lets not wait so long for the Patullo and the Tunnel replacement.
