Walkers get suited up in fire engine red jumpsuits and yellow harnesses and venture out in groups of six to eight for a stunning, open-air view of Toronto and Lake Ontario.

They’re accompanied by trained guides.

Safety harnesses and industrial-strength cables attach walkers to an overhead rail, allowing them to lean off the edge of the platform and gaze out on the city sprawling below.

The experience costs $175 and lasts a total of 90 minutes, with the walk itself taking 20 to 30 minutes.
