Acquaintance with Vancouver usually begins with the Capilano Suspension Bridge and this is no coincidence. Capilano was built in 1889 by Scottish engineer George Grand McCain. At the very beginning of its existence, it looked completely different: built from hemp rope and cedar boards, it quickly fell into disrepair and was completely rebuilt in 1956.

The length of the bridge is 137 meters, and the height above the Capilano River, which flows under it and seems to be just a stream, is 70 meters.
Oddly enough, but the Capilano Suspension Bridge is not a public area, but a private property. Today it is owned by a company owned by Nancy Stibbart. It is this woman who owns the Capilano Bridge, and it is she who has all the rights to it.

Why do all tourists want to cross this bridge? It is enough to look down: dizziness and stale breath are guaranteed. Every year, more than 800 thousand tourists test themselves and the bridge for strength. But the residents of Vancouver themselves try to avoid the Capilano Suspension Bridge, believing that it is just entertainment for tourists.
Address: West Vancouver, BC V7S 1J5.
