There are SOO many things to do in this great city of ours. Whether it be in the spring, summer, fall or even winter. Often times, we take this for granted. I think there is this mindset that since we live in this beautiful city, we've become immune to the beauty that it is and the abundance of things to do it provides. Besides all the hiking that can be done (see my other posts), which it in itself can take you all summer! There are plenty of other things to do, whether it be free or at a cost. Today I would like to share one of the most common touristy thing you can do in our great city! Which is none other than the Capilano Suspension Bridge!
Yes this choice is severely overrated, but since I recently went, it has to be said. I will also make another post about the great FREE alternative, Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge another day. Before coming here this summer, I hadn't come for over 5 years and since then, a lot has changed. Besides the treetop adventures, there is the additional cliff walk which is a walk path off the side of a cliff that allows you to see into the canyon below. You can also learn a lot about the forest and trees that grow here as there are signage every so often that teaches you about what you see. You also have the opportunity to come close to a few predatory birds such as a hawk and eagle.
The admission price for this can be quite steep as it is indeed a tourist trap, but the upside for locals is you get a free annual membership with the purchase that allows you to go back as many times as you want within a year, although to be honest why would you. The only time I can see myself coming back may be for the Canyon Lights that happen between November 27 and January 3rd
