From Souris to Capilano

If you're looking to take your hike to the next level, you might want to put Souris, Manitoba, or Vancouver, British Columbia on your travel list.

Souris Manitoba is home to Canada's longest historic suspension bridge, but tourists and locals alike call it the Souris Swinging Bridge. It's a perfect day trip from Winnipeg, or a short afternoon outing from Brandon.

Originally built in 1904, it sustained flood damage in 2011 and was rebuilt in 2013 at a cost of over $4 million. It is one of the town's most recognized and most endearing attributes.

If you're a Manitoban and haven't ever detoured off the Trans-Canada highway to visit the Swinging Bridge and the Souris Rock Shop, you're missing out. It's a local treasure!

If your budget is more than a tank of gas and an afternoon, you should make sure to visit Vancouver and the Capilano Suspension Bridge.
