World's Most Spectacular Pedestrian Bridges

Tree Top Canopy Walk, Sabah, Borneo
Strung between five enormous trees in the rainforest, this suspension bridge spans nearly 1,000 feet and stands about 85 feet at its highest point. Admire the beautiful green canopy of the 130-million-year-old jungle from the large viewing platforms situated about halfway up the trunks of these massive trees.
Tree Huggers: In order to protect the trees, the walkway was designed so that steel cables didn’t have to be rigged directly into the trunks.
