Coquihalla Canyon Provincial Park


Near Hope B.C.
Home of the Othello Tunnels also called the Quintette Tunnels , because there are 5 of them , which were part of the old Kettle Valley Railroad system . Built in the early 1900's the railway starts near Hope and goes up through the interior of the Province. It was abandoned in the 50's and now has mostly been turned into some of the best bicycle path /trails anywhere, featuring these amazing tunnels , blasted through the solid granite walls of the Canyon with the River roaring below, and further up the Amazing trestles of Myra Canyon , which were lost in the wild fires of 2003 but now have been restored.
