***** (5 stars)

Capilano is a must stop when visiting Vancouver. The very impressive suspension bridge spans a lush valley, and takes you to a series of scenic paths through the forest on the other side. It’s great for adults who will enjoy the spectacular views, and kids who will love the feel of the swaying bridge. Even our friend who is afraid of heights enjoyed it!

The Observatory At Grouse Mountain

Posted on by
Scallops, 2003

**** (4 stars)

Five stars for the view (and exhilarating ride getting there) and three stars for the food.

To get there you go through North Vancouver, past the Capilano Bridge and park at the base of Grouse mountain. From there you take the gondola to the 3700 foot summit for dinner at The Observatory.

While the food is elaborate, it strikes me as one of those restaurants that is trying way too hard. Certainly the scallops were spectacular looking, but not a particularly tasty or easy to eat preparation! But it’s been a while since I visited, and I should go back to see if things have changed–and for the view.
