Capilano Suspension Bridge Park: Nature Meets Thrill in Vancouver’s Backyard

Just 20 minutes from downtown Vancouver, the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park is where towering evergreens, rushing rivers, and cliffside adventures come to life. Walk across the iconic 137-meter-long suspension bridge, swaying gently above the Capilano River, a thrilling yet serene experience surrounded by the forest’s lush canopy. Then continue to the Treetops Adventure, a series of smaller suspension bridges that take you high into the forest, offering a bird’s-eye view of the ancient Douglas firs. Do not miss the Cliffwalk, a dramatic cantilevered walkway hugging the granite cliffside, perfect for thrill-seekers and photographers alike. And for a magical experience, visit during Canyon Lights in winter when the park transforms into a glowing forest wonderland. Tips for Visitors: Go early or late in the day to avoid crowds Wear good shoes, lots of walking and some narrow paths The ticket includes a free shuttle from downtown Vancouver Canyon Lights (late Nov–Jan) is a must-see if you're in town during the holidays #capilanosuspensionbridge
