Hope Slide

Just a few miles east of Hope, B.C., is the location of the 1965 slide. It was the largest landslide ever recorded in Canada and killed four people.

Othello Tunnels

The Othello Tunnels are near Hope, B.C. at the Coquihalla Canyon Provincial Park.

There are five tunnels and a series of bridges connecting them that run along an old railroad grade. The tunnels were made between 1911 and 1916, without modern machines. 











Several movies have been filmed here, including Rambo: First Blood.












The relatively short and very level trail to the tunnels runs beside the Coquihalla River.

Hope, B.C.

We took a day trip to Hope recently. The town is nestled in the towering mountains of the Canadian Cascades.

It borders the con-fluence of the Coquihalla and Fraser Rivers.


The town is known for its chainsaw carvings, located at intersections and in the park.

A chainsaw carving competition will be held in late summer.
