Man in the Wilderness

This morning, Quintin & I drove up to Capilano Suspension Bridge and Park, just north of Vancouver. This was just what I was hoping for: a chance to get close to nature just a few miles outside of the city... the sights and smells of the temperate rain forest were beautiful beyond description. Huge douglas firs cling to a steep mountainside that drops suddenly hundreds of feet to a rocky moutain stream.

Capilano's suspension bridge crosses the chasm 250 feet above the water, while the Treetops Adventure links a dozen trees together with smaller suspension bridges, sometimes over a hundred feet from the forest floor. We got a lot of exercise, and a lot of great photos:

From the cliffside, you can see the Capilano Bridge above and the mountain stream below...
