Now I realize I'm not speaking for everyone, but for me the greatest part about speeding over the Granville Street Bridge is the experience of diving into this dense wall of towers that seem to rise up out of nowhere. I've heard this experience referenced several times by locals, tourists, and at least one travel article, and the awe-factor always seems to be the cityscape as opposed to the mountains. Not to say that people don't love and speak highly of the mountains in other contexts though.
