Hope and the Othello Tunnels

Decided to take a hike through the Othello Tunnels also known as Quintette Tunnels. These tunnels, 5 of them were designed by Andrew McCulloch to save going around the Coquihalla Canyon and were built in 1914. The railbed crosses the Coquihalla River several times and the views are well worth the trip. The trestles have all been converted to walkways now, and it is a provincial park.  Suzanne and I enjoyed the fabulous views of the river and the canyon. This is a popular place for tourists and we found lots of people around for a Thursday. We also stopped and looked at the Kawkawa Lake and found familes and children playing in the lake. The lake water was cold but really looks neat with the surrounding mountains in the background. Overall a great day in Hope!
On to Fort Camping on Brae Island.  They are having Christmas in August for the kids on Saturday. I think Santa Clause is coming.  Should be fun :)
