Capilano Suspension Bridge

Capilano Suspension Bridge spans the Capilano River in North Vancouver, British Columbia, and has grown from an 1889 hemp-rope and cedar-plank crossing built by George Grant Mackay into one of the North Shore’s best-known landmarks. Replaced by a wire-cable bridge in 1903 and completely rebuilt in 1956, it became the centerpiece of a privately operated attraction that expanded under later owners with Treetops Adventures and Cliffwalk. The site also gained a distinctive visual identity through the placement of totem poles, entered popular culture through television and video games, and became widely known in psychology through a 1974 study on fear and attraction.
