Stretching 450 feet at about 70 meters above a rocky Vancouver brook, the Capilano Suspension Bridge is the region’s oldest and perhaps most distressing attraction. For more than a century visitors have confronted any and all fear of heights as they traverse the shaky, swaying footbridge, carefully treading across its narrow wooden floor and then back again. Many try to stop mid-bridge for a photo opt, which would probably turn out superb, except, when the bridge is swarmed with people scurrying back and forth - some laughing, others pale with fright - the swaying and swinging of the bridge make it almost impossible to hold still. The only safety from falling over the side is a waist-high steel rail about the size of a coffee can, with steel netting running from the rail to the floor of the bridge (for small children), and your balance.
