We visited Othello Tunnels just a couple of days ago. Just stunning! Because it’s still early in the year for tourists, we had the place almost to ourselves. Even better, when we arrived, the park ranger told us the parking ticket machine wasn’t working so we didn’t have to pay for parking.

It was a fantastic day out though, and well worth the journey!

Thanks for writing about Hope, Rebecca! I’m always super-glad when I hear that someone has discovered or rediscovered a Hope activity or feature location.

thanks again,

Yesterday our family was heading out early to go do the Grouse Grind for some exercise, but due to the heavy rain decided to head out the other way for a family adventure. My son and his father has visited the Othello Tunnels, but I have never been there.

What a spectacular site, the scenery is breathtaking and the engineering of Andrew McCulloch is something to see (when you consider what elements they were working with). I never seen any bats, but yes there is lots of puddles to watch out for. I didn’t have a flashlight, but next time I will be prepared.

Afterward we went for coffee and steamed milk at the Blue Moose and enjoyed it as we sat in the city park across the street.

Love the Othello tunnels. Its a great piece of BC history to explore, and a nice short walk. The KVR is a huge part of BC history even though parts of it were severely damaged in the fires a few years ago they’re still worth checking out.

I am thinking of finding some hot springs to visit this weekend – after weeks of meetups, events, blogfest and geek camps, i am ready for tent camping and a stack of pancakes in a small town diner.

Day Tripping – great new series!
By the way, I heard in the news that the gas price is expected to rise just before the long weekend.
