Another beautiful day in Vancouver. Sunny and low 70's. We have been so lucky with this weather. Today we caught the free shuttle to Capilano. Capilano has a suspension bridge, nature walk on the floor of a rain forest, a canopy walk among the trees, and a cliff walk above the Capilano River.

We had to cross on the suspension bridge to get to two of the hiking areas and then cross again. Yikes! Actually, since I have such a fear of heights, I thought it would be very difficult to do, but it wasn't too bad. When the bridge began swaying some from the people walking, I had a little bit of trouble, but had to complete the walk. Then coming back was fairly easy.

This picture shows how high the bridge is.

After crossing the bridge we walked around the trail at the floor of the temperate rain forest. It is very different from the forests of Arkansas. Then we walked on the canopy trail, high above, between trees of the Capilano forest. These trails were fairly high, but were short walks between platforms around a tree. It gave a very interesting view of the forest.

When finished with the canopy walk, we crossed back over the suspension bridge and took the cliff walk above the Capilano River.

The cliff walk was as high as the suspension bridge, and was narrow, but didn't sway. Gave us a very good view of the Capilano River. After leaving Capilano, Mike and I ate a late lunch in downtown Vancouver then took a walk back to the hotel. We are staying in for the evening so that we will be ready to board our cruise ship tomorrow. Our stay in Vancouver has been very relaxing. We are looking forward to the next stage of our journey. Until next time, so long.
