Taking a walk on the wilder side, we signed up to cross the Capilano Suspension bridge hanging 230 feet above the Capilano River in the district of North Vancouver.

First built in 1889 by Scottish engineer George Grant Mackay, the Capilano Suspension Bridge began as a simple crossing made of hemp ropes and cedar planks stretched high above the river. In 1903, the bridge was rebuilt with sturdy wire cables, ensuring it could welcome more and more curious visitors eager to experience its breathtaking height and forest views.

It was rebuilt again in 1956 and an additional series of Treetop bridges where added, pictured above, are the blogger, Uncle Mike, Mike and Bob enjoying a squirrel’s eye view of the thriving coastal rainforest.

And Ian too!
