Canyon Lights at Capilano Suspension Bridge Park

Capilano’s woodland suspension bridge is a stunning sight year-round, but when covered in Christmas lights it becomes downright whimsical. This year, the park has decorated the 30-ton Douglas Fir trees that surround the bridge, making them the largest Christmas trees in the world. And there are eight of them!
