Othello / Quintette Tunnels
The Othello Tunnels (also called the Quintette Tunnels) are five rock-cut railway tunnels blasted through a 300-foot granite gorge on the Kettle Valley Railway in 1914, now preserved within Coquihalla Canyon Provincial Park near Hope. The 3.5 km round-trip trail threads through the tunnels and across suspension bridges above the churning Coquihalla River, forming part of the Trans Canada Trail on a flat, gravel surface. Cyclists are welcome on the trail but must dismount and walk through the tunnels, and flashlights are strongly recommended for the longer, darker sections.
This place is in the traditional territory of the Nłeʔkepmx Tmíxʷ (Nlaka’pamux), S’ólh Téméxw (Stó:lō), and Cayuse, Umatilla and Walla Walla.
