More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A salt-cool wind meets the city as you step toward Prospect Point, the lookout that opens onto Burrard Inlet and the steel sweep of the Lions Gate Bridge. The water pulls the eye west; gulls quarter the sky and the forest on the North Shore seems to lean forward, daring you to look farther.

History
The shoreline here reflects Indigenous Coast Salish use and later logging and ferry development; Capilano’s bridge was originally built by a homesteader in the late 19th century and rebuilt as tourism grew.
Conservation
Capilano and Stanley Park both manage visitor impact through designated trails and boardwalks; practice Leave No Trace and follow park signage to protect sensitive riparian and old-growth trees.

Time your visit
Start in the morning to avoid peak crowds at Capilano and catch clearer light at Prospect Point.
Wear grippy shoes
Capilano’s bridges and Cliffwalk can be wet and require steady footing; choose closed-toe shoes with good traction.
Layer for coastal weather
Waterproof outer layers and a lightweight insulating mid-layer keep you comfortable as wind and shade change temperatures quickly.
Mind accessibility limits
Prospect Point is paved, but Capilano includes suspended bridges and steps; ask about mobility needs when booking.
Waterproof jacket
Coastal showers and spray near the canyon make a breathable rain jacket useful year-round.
