Cliffwalk: Hovering as high as 30 storeys above the Capilano River Canyon, Cliffwalk is a series of narrow walkways, stairs, and viewing platforms anchored to the sheer cliff face with suspended cantilevers. The Cliffwalk has fun facts about the cliff walk. The first one is built to thrill that the cliff walk can safely support 45 tonnes (100,000 pounds) – equal to the weight of 35 adult orca whales. The second fun fact is Going the Distance, about a cliff walk stretching 213 metres (700 feet) along Capilano Canyon – the length of three and half-ice hockey rinks. The last fun fact is that it is thoughtfully Constructed, non-invasive, and over-engineered; simultaneously, the cliff walk is supported with only 16 anchor points set into the cliff. Thrills on the Edge is named a Canadian Signature Experience. The narrow walkways and greeting floors of Cliffwalk have been generating adrenaline-pumping cliffside journeys since 2011. Not for the faint of heart, a cliff walk reaches out from the granite cliff face above the Capilano River. It’s high and narrow, and in some sessions, open grated walkways separate you from the canyon far below. Follow the path for breathtaking views and unique perspectives on the surrounding landscape and rainforest vegetation.
