#Capilano_SuspensionBridge_Park

It was initially built in 1889 with hemp rope and cedar planks onto now with its steel cables anchored into concrete

KeyTip; There is a free shuttle all year round from Canada Place Convention Centre or Hyatt Regency Hotel in Vancouver
If you decide to drive, parking is $8.00 for three hours plus admission that is Adults $78.00, Students $64.00 & Youth $49.00

Tree Top Adventures

There are seven suspension bridges plus platforms attached to 250 year old Douglas Fir Trees as you are trekking 33 meters (110 feet) above the forest floor
But not too worry as the park uses an adjustable non-invasive collars (that exerts less pressure) which does not penetrate the bark
Finally in the theme of the nature and reuse.....what you are walking on is reclaimed wood from a closed grain elevator once run by the Hudsons Bay Company that was located nearby

Cliffwalk

This adventure is 30 stories high as you walk the 213 meter bridge / viewing platforms (700 feet) along the granite cliffside with sights of the regions rainforest and canyon.
The structure uses a cantilever design for support and is engineered to hold 45 tons or 100,000 lbs



Totem Poles

Throughout the park they are significant to the culture of the First Nations People which tells stories of their history and connection to the land here in Kiapalano

Raptors Ridge

Look for the educational facility to teach you the public about the Raptors and other birds of prey in the park such as owls, hawks & falcons
The birds visit this area of the ridge every evening plus during the day they enjoy an open, free-flight environment
