The 12-minute ride offers gorgeous views of Howe Sound and The Chief, while eagles migrating to nearby Brakendale soar past.

Vistas from several viewing platforms and a suspension bridge include the majestic surrounding peaks such as the dauntingly beautiful Sky Pilot.

Make sure to stop at the “Selfie Station” where you can snap a pic of yourself on what is surely one of Canada’s most impressive outdoor dining decks.
