The suspension bridge that crosses Capilano river is a tourist sightseeing, it is cute and every year they add something new. A CLIFF WALK is the park’s newest attraction – a cantilevered walkway clinging to the granite cliff high above Capilano Canyon. Treetops Adventure, seven suspension bridges through the evergreens taking you up to 100 feet (30m) above the forest floor, offers a unique squirrel’s eye perspective of the forest.
