The course taken is approxi­ mately east by west or west by east on Burrard Ifilet, passing through the First Narrows, across whicli now stretches the huge span and sky-raking tow­ ers of the Lions' Gate Bridge. The bridge itself with its long ramp at the northern end and the high rocky escarpment of Prospect Point on the, south shore together make a worthy entrance to Vancouver's mag­ nificent harbor. One passes on'the south shore of the- inlet-the-whole, northern side of the famous. Stanley Park from Brockton" to Prospect Points.
