Samenvatting
The Capilano Suspension Bridge is one of Vancouver's signature tourist attractions, accommodating up to 750,000 visitors a year. When the bridge owners found that the heavy volume of pedestrian traffic was damaging the sensitive forest floor they conceived the vision of a new attraction: Treetops Adventure, an elevated forest walkway. McElhanney's challenge was to design a walkway high in the trees that would be accessible to anyone that could climb a few steps, and offer unimpeded views of the treetops without damaging the trees in any way.
