Left Hope at first light and went straight to Capilano Bridge, already heaving with tourists... relative to our usual remoteness! :wink: Probably very quiet for them - end of season by now. Wobbly bridge, forest track, tree top trail, marvelled at huge trees, cliff-top walk (new since I was last here) and a quick bite to eat before carrying on up the road to Grouse Mountain.
Instead of taking the longer Grouse Grind route on foot :crazy: we opted for the cable car up :D Open ski lift at the top, viewing platform inside the wind turbine, saw the grizzlies chilling in their pool, and the 'world famous' lumberjack show :clap: :lol: :clap:
What a day, finished off with some rush-hour driving through the city! :shock: :crazy: Sure packed a lot in to this whole trip - great memories of some amazing experiences :thumbup: :D
