Late afternoon just before sunset for golden light flooding the river valley and the downtown skyline. Spring and fall offer the clearest views before trees fully leaf out.

Om
Raske fakta: 48 meter over North Saskatchewan-elven står den som den lengste og høyeste broen av sitt slag i verden. Dets to dekk bar en gang trikker over mens tog og kjøretøy passerte under, en ingeniørbragd fra 1913.
Høydepunkter: Hver 31. oktober siden 1994 blir broens øvre dekk forvandlet til en veldedig strikkhoppingsplattform kalt "The Drop", med over 200 hoppere som stuper mot elven nedenfor for å samle inn penger til lokale ideelle organisasjoner. Originale trikkeskinner ligger fortsatt langs øvre dekk, synlige gjennom treplankene når du går over.
Insidertips
- Park on the south side (Strathcona) end for an easier walk and better views of the downtown skyline ahead.
- The lower deck train tracks are active, so time your walk to catch a freight train rumbling by overhead.
- Bring a camera with a wide lens, the bridge's truss framework makes for dramatic silhouette shots at sunset.
- Skip the middle of a hot summer day, the steel deck gets scorching and there is no shade.
