Famous Suspension Bridge Of Vancouver.
Lions Gate Bridge is the iconic suspension bridge which joins Vancouver main city to North and West Vancouver across the Burrard Inlet to the harbour. It connects from the northern end of Stanley Park to the North Shore municipalities of North Vancouver and West Vancouver. One gets excellent views of the Burrard Inlet, Vancouver harbour and the surrounding mountains from the bridge. The bridge is named after the two lion peaks on the North Shore.
The Lions Gate Bridge compares well with the Brooklyn Bridge in New York and the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, although the latter is taller and longer.
We got a very panoramic view of the full length of the bridge from the Prospect Point Lookout. It is a relatively narrow three lane bridge and gets quite congested during rush hour. We walked down to the south end of the bridge and saw the two stone lions guarding the bridge. Although one can enter and walk or cycle on the bridge we did not try it.
