Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge

Saturday evening, after we finished early dinner, my husband asked me whether we should go out and enjoy the sunshine. At this time of the year, plus the daylight savings time, you will not feel dark until after 9pm. So it is cerntainly a good time to pick something you like doing outside, instead of watching TV on the couch or surfiing the internet... Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge was the one we both agreed on. It is a fun place and no cost at all.

The bridge was built in 1912, therefore instead of solid steel, you've got narrow wooden slats under your feet. And that is all which separates you from a 50 meters drop to Lynn Creek below. It is quite narrow, and just allows two people to pass each other. However, it is quite safe. I know it does not sound like that. No one has fallen from it, except that there was always someone who tried to jump from the bridge to the water every year, and got serious injury or never came back.

Except for the above sad story, it is a interesting place to go. There is an Ecology Centre, where you can see many pictures of the bridges in the past.  You could also walk on various trails......We walked to the direction of Rice Lake for about 20 minutes. Unfortunately, I did not wear proper shoes so we did not go very far. I know there is a twin falls at the opposite direction, which I plan to come back someday.

By the way, I found some visitors were wearing "funny" gears, with wool hat, warm jacket, but short pants. Actually, those are the ones who are very keen on hiking. Not like me, wearing a cowgirl hat and jeans...
