Capilano suspension bridge is about 15 mins out of down town Vancouver in a wonderfully forested area. Like most places you have to pay for parking.

A long shot across the the bridge - A closer shot of the start of the bridge on the opposite side - Part of the tree top walk.

Remember not to feed the squirrels are they may bite. I saw one, but it was way to fast to photograph. At one point it was walking down a tree like Spiderman

At Capilano they have some captive birds for educational purposes like this little guy.

A rather unimpressed looking owl. Sorry about the flash :)

Sharon and I before we jump in the car and head off towards Grouse Mountain

On the way up to Grouse Mountain which is where NBC will broadcast from for the 2010 Winter Olympics. Grouse is a stones through from the center of Vancouver.

On the way up the mountain - it's about a 5 min ride up the mountain in the large gondolas. They take about 15 people at a time. One of the best parts of the ride up is looking over the city. Unfortunately there had been fires in the near by areas which had made the sky smoggy looking.

A Bald Eagle, they were saying that the Old English of 'Balde' meant white headed. At some point the dropped, or lost the E

At the top of Grouse Mountain is a chair lift that takes to the very top of the mountain where the Zip line and Parasailers take off from. Squirrels also made an appearance up here, unfortunately they were fast as ever and didn't like having their photo taken.

On the way down from the very top of the mountain, a parasailer was getting ready to go, After quite a delay they took off and sailed over the chair lift. It was only when I looked at the image that I noticed that it was a tandem jump.
