Othello Tunnel Trail is part of this park in Hope. It is on an old railroad bed that was built in 1913 and finished in 1916. Andrew McCulloch developed the amazing plan for a series of tunnels. With the tunnels in perfect alignment, and the 2 bridges between 3 of them he had found the route over the Coquihalla River Canyon below.
The longest tunnel was very dark inside and in some there was water dripping.
The foot bridges were built on the original railroad trestles.
It was hot and I was ready for a swim. but decided at the last minute the water was too swift and too far away.
