Capilano Suspension Bridge and Treetops Adventure
3735 Capilano Road, North Vancouver
Phone: (604) 985-7474
There's a lot we could say about Greater Vancouver's number one attraction (and the oldest-it dates back to 1889), we reckon we'll get your heart racing as you cross the 450-foot (137m) swaying bridge that's suspended 230 feet (70m) above Capilano River. Not to be missed is the exhilarating Treetops Adventure where you wander through the forest canopy along seven suspension bridges 100 feet (30m) above the ground. There are plenty of easy forest strolls and a cliffhanger walk to keep your pulse racing.
