Capilano Suspension Bridge Park www.capbridge.com | 3735 Capilano Rd., North Van | 604-985-7474 An awesome 230 feet above the Capilano River, the 450-foot-long suspension bridge has been a tradition for more than a century.
A thrilling West Coast rainforest experience, Treetops Adventure is the first venue of its kind in North America. Treetops offers visitors a squirrel’s eye view of a thriving coastal forest, as they venture from one magnificent Douglas fir tree to another via a series of elevated suspension bridges, some reaching as high as 100 feet above the forest floor. Capilano Suspension Bridge Park’s Cliffwalk allows visitors to explore a cliff-side ecosystem from a series of narrow walkways and glass platforms high above the rumbling Capilano River — possibly the most pulse pounding nature walk in North America. BUS: 236
