Capilano Suspension Bridge Park

Only 15 minutes from downtown Vancouver, allow 2 - 3 hours for your visit to Vancouver's iconic Capilano Suspension Bridge, hanging 450 feet (137m) across and 230 feet (70m) above Capilano River. The park offers more than just the bridge. Its surrounding 27 acres celebrate nature, history and culture in unique and thrilling ways. No more so than with the newest attraction, CLIFFWALK. Cliffwalk hangs for 213m (700ft) and reaches 91m (300ft) high, hugging the granite cliffside and offering a panoramic view of the thriving rainforest and canyon far below. On Treetops Adventure venture from one magnificent old growth Douglas-fir to another on a series of seven elevated suspension bridges, reaching as high as 110 feet (33m), for a squirrel's eye view of the forest. Guides, signage and interactive exhibits throughout the park help you in your understanding of rainforest ecosystems and their sustainability.

Kinsol Trestle

Reviewed By mariedesjardins - Prince George, Canada

Old railway line in the cowichan valley Near Victoria. Pleasant hike across the wooden bridge overlooking the river valley. Observation decks and trails down to the riverside. Fine in summer but might be hard to traverse in other seasons when rain occurs often. Cycling and walking trails surround the bridge. There are two parking lots at different points plus roadside parking. Outhouses for facilities too.

Hagwilget Canyon Bridge

Reviewed By SightSeeingFeather - Hazelton, Canada

One of my favorite spots to walk or drive over. From the bridge, you get to see so much of the majesty of the area. From this vantage point, you see the mighty Rouche de Boule (Stekyoden) overlooking New Hazelton, and then Nine Mile Mountain on the opposite side. The best part by far is looking down at the Bulkley River underneath. In the summer, you might be able to catch some kayakers going down the canyon and around the bend. I recommend walking across this bridge, it is just thrilling to stand on top of a historial site.

Alexandra Bridge Provincial Park

Reviewed By charlotteava_health

Alexandra Suspension Bridge is a beautiful piece of BC history. It's situated just below hwy 1 and is a short walk from the road. The original bridge was built as part of the Cariboo Wagon Trail in 1861. The bridge that exists there today was built in 1926 as the original one was destroyed by high waters in the early 1900s. As you walk across the bridge deck you can see the rushing Fraser River below your feet. There's a charm to the bridge which may have something to do with it's rich history and the fever of the gold rush which once brought many people to the area.

Elk Falls Suspension Bridge

Reviewed By barbs492 - Sooke, Canada

Wonderful hiking/ walking trails through old growth forest right down to the Campbell River and also to a suspension bridge overlooking Elk Falls. Go early and take the time to do all the trails. Make sure to stop at the small museum for information and the story of the John Hart power station. We met a friendly informative volunteer there who gave us a short history- just the right amount of information! Thanks.

The Old Suspension Bridge

Reviewed By BSerwa2017 - Sorrento, Canada

The old bridge crosses the Fraser River. There is an osprey nest up on the top, so watch for droppings!! The local natives fish along the banks below. Beautiful mountains all around.
