Capilano Suspension Bridge, Canada.

Before creating this blog, I've been making some researches about the most beautiful places in our planet. And guess what! Bridges are surely present in the list ! (I'm so in love with bridges by the way).
So, in this article, I'll talk about one of the most famous bridges: the Capilano Suspension Bridge in the district of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
going back to the history of the bridge, I learned that it was first built by George Grant Mackay in 1889,  completely rebuilt in 1956 and sold to his current owner,Nancy Stibbard, in 1983.
It's actually z suspension bridge crossing the Capilano River, that's how he got the name. The current bridge is 140 metres long and 70 metres above the river and gets over 800,000 visitors a year. And to be honest, it's not the right place for the faint of heart ! But even if it sounds is a little scary, it remains a very beautiful place to appreciate nature.
