Capilano Suspension Bridge Park

This guide to Capilano Suspension Bridge Park in Vancouver opens with a 1974 psychology experiment staged on the bridge itself, in which researchers Donald Dutton and Arthur Aron had men crossing the swaying span fill out a survey for a woman waiting at the far end, then compared their responses to men who crossed a low, steady bridge nearby. It traces the crossing's own history back to 1889, when Scottish developer George Grant Mackay hired Squamish brothers August Jack and Willie Khahtsahlano to swim the first ropes across the canyon. Listen for the Coast Salish name for this bridge, and what it has to do with the wind through the gorge.
