Hope-Nicola Valley Trail

The Hope-Nicola Valley Trail is a 3.5mi loop through Coquihalla Canyon Provincial Park that climbs through a beautiful stretch of forest and alongside the Coquihalla River as it flows through the scenic canyon. The route begins and ends at the Othello Tunnels, a series of old railway tunnels that were once blasted into the rocky landscape. This area is extremely popular with tourists, so it is best to arrive early to secure parking; although most people will likely just explore the area around the tunnels, meaning you won’t be cramped for space along the majority of this scenic hiking trail. This route is a perfect blend of scenic views, historical sites, and non-technical terrain, making it an ideal trail for a fun family excursion near Hope, BC.
