Coquihalla Canyon Provincial Park

Coquihalla Canyon Provincial Park is a small but visually striking protected area in southwestern British Columbia, Canada, set along the north shore of the Coquihalla River near the town of Hope. The park protects a deeply eroded granite gorge where the river cuts through ancient metamorphic and volcanic bedrock, producing steep canyon walls, rapids, and cascades that shift dramatically with seasonal water levels. The park's defining cultural and visual landmark is the series of abandoned railway tunnels known as the Othello Tunnels, originally cut through the canyon walls for the Kettle Valley Railway in the early twentieth century. Today these tunnels, along with the surrounding Kettle Valley Rail Trail, form one of the most distinctive combinations of natural canyon scenery and industrial heritage in the Canadian Pacific interior. Although compact in size, the park draws visitors for its layered character: a working river landscape shaped by geology and floods, a corridor of historic engineering threaded straight through bedrock, and a gateway to the broader Trans Canada Trail network.
