A low winter sun slides behind glass towers as the coach eases away from Canada Place and the city exhales into the forested slopes of the North Shore. Streets give way to stands of Douglas fir and cedar; by evening, the Capilano Suspension Bridge is lit in thousands of small stars and the canyon hums with cold-air movement—an urban pulse meeting ancient rainforest.
