Lynn Canyon Park

On Sunday we went for a drive north to Lynn Valley, where there was reputed to be a excellent park, with a suspension bridge and forest walk, and unlike the Capillano Suspension Bridge, it was all free. We found it! The walk was pretty good, despite the cold. We didn't have to walk far to get to the suspension bridge, which was not as long and scary as the Capillano one, but was excellent all the same and with better views. There was a close-by, lofty and powerful waterfall at one end of the bridge (although largely obscured by trees), and this spectacular view in the middle of the bridge. The whole canyon park is a rainforest, and is inhabited by bears - but alas, none were seen today (sigh). There was an 11km walk to beautiful Deep Cove, but we gave it a miss this time. The walk through the rainforest was something in itself, but none of my photos were able to capture its extraordinary beauty of this place; so you'll just have to come over and give me an excuse to go back there!
