Capilano

History spanning over a hundred years, the Capilano Suspension Bridge is lanky and outstretched overlooking the river below. George Grant Mackay built the Cliff House and the first suspension bridge at Capilano in 1889. 
Visiting the trees. Certain trees have names such as Grandma Capilano, The Big One. 
Treetop adventure. As we move among the trees I feel strangely part of nature again.
Ripples in the sky
Our shadows playing with the green leaves as we head back across the Capilano bridge
Just over this slope, I proclaim the most magnificent view of the Capilano River and mountains which I think is Grouse Mountain. In my opinion, no pictures do justice to how in awe i felt as its beauty revealed itself upon climbing this slope. 
Cleveland Dam. Fair yii taught me about how the superflows had to to be conducted to normal flows or something like that, so that river erosion is not acerbated.
The adventurous bunch of us decided to take this ICY trail down to Salmon Hatchery, despite a passer bys warning to take the trail on the left.
Not the right season for salmon hatching but here is a picture by the river. Spot the Snowfish.
Final trail we took before we headed back outta there. Big Fir and trees fashioning other green plants. Wonder if it was some parasitic relationship or other. 
 This weekend, Whistler!
