Capilano Cliffwalk

Cliffwalk is the latest, thrilling adventure at Capilano Suspension Bridge in North Vancouver. Opened in June 2011, this heart-stopping, cliffside journey along cantilevered and suspended walkways through rainforest vegetation allows visitors to access previously unexplored areas of the park. Cliffwalk is high and narrow and, in some sections very strong glass is all that separates guests from the canyon far below. The narrow walkway has fixed handrails supported by steel beams cantilevered from 16 anchor points in the granite rock face of the canyon.

Visitors will find informative signage along the walkway that explains the interaction between water, granite, salmon, flora & fauna, which was developed in partnership with the David Suzuki Foundation.

Cliffwalk facts:

• Highest point is 90 metres (300 feet) above the Capilano River, even higher than Capilano Suspension Bridge!
• Almost 213 Metres (700 feet) in length
• narrow walkway only 50cm wide  (20”)
• 11 square metre environmental footprint, CLIFFWALK is unobtrusive
• 16 anchor points are drilled into the rock face; some anchors are drilled 6 meters into the cliff face with a total of 486 Metres (1600 feet) of steel used.

During construction, great care was taken to protect the delicate natural eco-system. Builders crafted bridge and walkway sections offsite, and then assembled them onsite. The steel was lowered into place using a crane, with some sections that weighed up to 4500 pounds!
