The scale of some of the trees and the canopy is amazing as well, and hard to capture in photos or videos.
This is the Twin Falls area which had very few people around but was super beautiful. And apparently deadly, lots of deaths in the canyon over the years, with pithy signs up everywhere lampooning people taking social media photos, interleaved with serious warnings. We in fact saw some people who had just been swimming while we were there.
There is a suspension bridge there as well, which is the primary attraction (and free!) but frankly is the least interesting part of the park and annoyingly crowded. The real action is on the other side of the canyon hiking up and down, beautiful stuff.
Lynn Canyon in Vancouver is pretty amazing. First, you can get there by bus (!) and second, it has so much bridging. Which, as a small town conservation person, gives me anxiety about how much it will cost to maintain and replace that stuff going forward. I mean it is *so much wood construction*.
HUB North ShorePipeline Bridge, connecting Lynn Valley to the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve, will be closed for repairs in August. The detour is upstream to the Lynn Headwaters bridge or downstream to the Suspension Bridge.
RuebenWhile walking in #LynnCanyon, I saw a sign describing trail closures for maintenance.
Pipeline Bridge will be closed some time this summer. Part of the Baden Powell trail is already closed for staircase work.
It is great that the District is maintaining the trails, but the bridge closure will be difficult. I will need to re-route some of my usual walks.
