Lynn Canyon: Part 2

Our flight today was at 4:00 PM, so we had some time in the morning. We saw Grandma and Grandpa off around 11:00 and then the girls and I decided to go and see the Lynn Canyon suspension bridge. We tried earlier on our trip but it was still closed for maintenance.

Lynn Canyon

We drove to the parking lot and the bridge was only about a two minute walk to the bridge.

The Girls

It was crowded as you can see from this photo. There is also no one telling you not to swing or jump on the bridge, not that we were.

Lynn Canyon

The bridge was built in 1912. The bridge is shorter and not as high as the Capilano Suspension Bridge, but it is narrower and moves around more when people walk on it. It also does not cost money to cross, but at one time visitors were charged a toll of ten cents.

Lynn Canyon

The bridge is 50 metres high and spans 166 ft.

Time To Head Home

It was time to fly home, we all had a great time. We were a little more relaxed than this guy when we got to the airport.

Vancouver Airport

They are still doing renovations to the airport in preparation for the Olympics and wouldn't our gate be in an area where the air conditioning didn't work.

So long to the mountains and the ocean.I'll be back at the end of August for work, I'll be in Vancouver for a couple of days and then I'm heading to Saturna Island for the rest of the week.
