Stretching through the canopy of evergreen trees, high above the ground, the Capilano Suspension Bridge takes intrepid walkers to a world far above the one they normally inhabit.

The bridge is located near Vancouver in the Canadian region of British Columbia. Originally built in 1889 by a Scottish civil engineer, the bridge was made from hemp ropes and cedar planks. Today the bridge has been updated and the surrounding area includes a full park, complete with seven suspension bridges in the Treetops Adventure, and a Cliffwalk that hangs 300 feet above the ground and stretches 700 feet across. The Capilano Bridge is 460 feet long and hangs 230 feet above the river, providing exquisite views of the surrounding forest.

According to the Capilano Bridge website, millions of visitors have traversed the suspension bridge and experienced the natural surroundings of the West Coast rainforest. In addition to enjoying the natural history of the area, visitors can also learn about First Nations culture and go on guided tours.

Guests can also visit the carving center and witness totem poles and other objects come to life and learn about history from guides dressed in period clothing from Vancouver's frontier days, says Frommer's.
