Capilano Suspension Bridge - one for mum!

The Capilano Suspension Bridge - wow not scary at all hey :)

So on Friday all 4 of us set out on the ferry to North Vancouver to visit Capilano Suspension Bridge (not too far from Grouse Mountain). This place was amazing - a little like the Otway Fly, but I hate to say it, 100 times better! Way back in the old days a suspension bridge was built to get across the Capilano River to log the trees on the other side. Tourists would come from miles to see the bridge which stretched 450 feet across and 230 feet (70m) above the river. The owner decided to start charging a fee making it the oldest running tourist attraction in Canada! So for a pretty good fee you can walk the bridge (which sways quite a lot!) and then enjoy the tree top walk on the other side! There is also a cliff hanger walk which gives nice and slightly scary views of surrounds and below! Shows also run throughout the day telling the history amongst other things and if you collect 6 passport stamps on your map at various places along the way you can even leave with a nifty "I made it across world-famous Capilano Suspension Bridge" certificate!

Gem braves it while Hanna and Karla hold on!

Giving in to the "tree hugging hippie" stereotype!
