Originally built in 1889, today's bridge is the fourth bridge at this location, 450 feet across and 230 feet above Capilano River. It is the world's greatest suspension footbridge. There are several others here, all connecting to scenic platforms high in the trees of a 300 year old west coast rain forest. Amazing!!
Also within the park is a beautiful collection of totem poles and art by First Nations people in the area.
All these pics were taken with the "real" camera; click to see them full size.

I was ok on the CN Tower in Toronto, which is much higher than this and on a serious note scared Nickie enough to turn her knees to jelly. Here on the swaying suspension bridge, however, the tables were turned. Just look at her, all smiles while I try not to hyperventilate. Disgusting!
This last one's for you, Sis! Click the pic to see a close-up.
