Vantastic Voyage

During our Olympic visit, a classmate and I ventured out to the Capilano Suspension Bridge in North Vancouver. We took the Seabus from downtown Vancouver and then a regular bus to the park. Transportation in Vancouver is extremely easy and fares are good for 90 minutes on any form of public transportation.

The bridge is 450 feet long and 230 feet high. It was exhilarating walking across it. We ran into athletes from Russia and the USA who were taking a break from the Olympic Games to tour one of Vancouver's famous attractions. The day was perfect for a walk through nature, and the treetop houses and path along the cliff had some breathtaking views. It was also interesting to learn about the history of the park and the trees that grow there.
