While in Vancouver, Edward and I visited the Capilano Suspension Bridge. This bridge was originally built in 1889. It runs a staggering 450 feet long and 230 feet above the Capilano River. The park also had treetop bridges that were built into the branches of the surrounding Douglas Firs. It was a great way to get up close and personal with mama nature.
Everything was so misty and green that I felt like I was running through the treetops in a scene from Twilight. LOL!! (Don't hate me because I'm so cheesy.)
This is a Nurse Log. A nurse log is a fallen tree that has begun to decay and provides nutrients to new seedlings. Ahhhh...isn't that cute!?
Interestingly, while there, I discovered that one of my long lost ancestors helped to build the Capilano Suspension Bridge. In that case, shouldn't I be getting kick-backs on all the admission fees!!?!
I love visiting scenic areas like this. It's nature in the raw, a reminder of how beautiful our world really is.
When I was there I thought walking in the trees was more like what the Ewoks must go through every day. Which comparison is more nerdy? Pretty pictures. Glad you made it there.
