18. Capilano Suspension Bridge, British Columbia

If you're heading to Vancouver, you must check out the Capilano Suspension Bridge, which is one of the city's symbols. This frequently-visited attraction was constructed in the 19th century and only has cedar log anchors on the ends. It's named for Kia'palano, a Squamish Nation chief. George Grant Mackay, a Scottish engineer, bought the land in 1888 and proceeded to plan a bridge across the canyon to where his cabin was. The bridge was fascinating from the outset, and today tourists appear in droves (there are fairy lights in winter), so go early to skip the busiest time of day.
