VANCOUVER Day 2, Capilano Suspension Bridge Park, part 1

We got up at 6:30 this morning, how late :-)

We left the house at about 8:30 and drove maybe 10 minutes to the Capolino Suspension Bridge State Park. Although we were early, we were not the first ones there. The entry fee is pretty high (less for me at the senior rate, ha ha) but in the end we decided it was well worth every penny.


Beautiful landscape work and totem poles.




The main attraction, of course is the suspension bridge across the Capolino River. It is 140 meters long and 70 meters above the river. Yes, it moves and sways, but not excessively.



Do you recognize that guy in the black jacket in the photo above?

The views from the bridge are fantastic.



Once on the other side, we took the Nature's Edge Boardwalk, through the rainforest.










There's not a lot to say, except that it was stunning. The trees are unbelievable, truly towering. The air was clear, crisp, clean, so fresh. I could have found a place to sit and just stayed there for hours, absorbing the whole atmosphere and being in awe of the natural beauty.
