You step off the transfer and inhale Pacific Northwest air: cedar resin and salt spray braided together. The Capilano Suspension Bridge stretches 137 metres over a rushing river that dares you to look down; the forest around it is old-growth, dark and full of dripping moss. Minutes later you’re ascending the Skyride to Grouse Mountain, the city shrinking beneath a ribbon of ocean and glass. At the summit the wind has its own opinion—sometimes gentle, sometimes insistent—and the trails move from groomed overlooks to alpine meadows where the resident bears and mountain birds patrol the edges.
