The Capilano suspension bridge crosses the Capilano River in the district of North Vancouver in British Columbia. Originally built from hemp ropes, the bridge is 446 feet long and 230 feet above the water. The bridge is privately owned and charges admission.

In 2004, the Treetops Adventure attraction opened. Visitors travel from one Douglas fir to another using elevated suspension bridges, some reaching as high as 100 feet above the forest floor.http://www.capbridge.com/treetops.php

In the spring of 2011 the Cliffhanger attraction is scheduled to open. It is a journey "through rainforest vegetation on a series of unobtrusive cantilevered and suspended walkways jutting out from the granite cliff face above Capilano River to previously unexplored areas of the park. Not for the feint of heart, it is high and narrow and, in some sections, glass (very strong glass) is all that separates guests from the canyon far below."http://www.capbridge.com/cliffhanger.php

As of 2010, the rates for admission to the bridge and park are $29.95 for adults, $27.95 for seniors (over 65), $23.75 for students (17+ with ID), $18.75 for youth (13-16), $10 for children (6-12) and free for children under 6.http://www.capbridge.com/rates_information/ Residents of British Columbia can purchase a yearly membership for $25 plus HST (Harmonized Sales Tax).http://www.capbridge.com/bcres.php

The bridge was built in 1888 by George Grant Mackay, a Scottish civil engineer and land developer, who built the bridge out of hemp ropes and cedar planks.http://www.capbridge.com/history.php After Mackay's death, the hemp rope bridge was replaced by a wire cable bridge in 1903.http://www.capbridge.com/history.php

As of 2010 the bridge is owned by Nancy Stibbard, who bought the bridge from her father in 1983. Since the purchase, the attendance of the bridge has quadrupled.http://www.capbridge.com/history.php
