Yesterday morning, I finally got a chance to visit one of Vancouver’s newest tourist attractions: the Sea to Sky Gondola. About an hour north of the city, the gondola whisks you from sea level up into the mountains, offering spectacular views of Howe Sound. There are multiple viewing platforms, several short walking paths (not to be confused with the challenging hiking routes), a suspension bridge, and a welcoming, casual restaurant/guest centre with a stunning deck . We have family visiting from Europe and back East this summer and I can’t wait to go back with them. It is a place I would return to again and again.

The view looks absolutely stunning!
Oh Claire, such a stunning view! I am quite sure there isn’t enough money in the world to get me on that bridge though.
Love gondolas, especially in beautiful Canadian locations! Thanks for telling about this one, I’ll go for it next time I’m up in Vancouver.
Whenever I finally visit Vancouver, I’ll be sure to check that out – looks gorgeous!
I have a fear of heights, but I can manage gondolas. Not that bridge or platform, though! If I’m lucky enough to get back to Vancouver, this will definitely be on my list of things to do.
Fabulous views. I just wish I could overcome my terror at being in gondolas and ski lifts etc.
Amazing pictures! I love doing vacations and field trips with you – these virtual trips just feed my travel bug, though. 🙂
It is breathtaking, but I think my fear of heights would prevent me from going into the gondola and hovering above the earth or sea.
Wow. Absolutely gorgeous.
That is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing those photos!
