Cool Waters

There’s a delightful spot about 5 km outside of Hope BC, called the Othello Tunnels, where a breathtaking rush of cool clear water runs through an impossible passage which was blasted through rock to make way for the Kettle Valley Railway which no longer runs.
The Othello Tunnels are also known as Quintette Tunnels. There are actually five of these tunnels. However the Tunnel #3 almost appears to be one long tunnel, but there is a small opening about half way along. These tunnels were designed by Andrew McCulloch to save going around the Coquihalla Canyon. The railbed crosses the Coquihalla River several times and the views are well worth the trip. The trestles have all been converted to walkways now, and it is a provincial park.

Taken with Nikon D70…auto setting…minor saturation tweak.

Kim, thanks so much….this area is one of my favourites to visit and when the spring thaws start, the water really pounds through here….the rocks in some areas are smooth as a baby’s bottom!

Thanks for stopping by Karin…indeed it’s gorgeous there and can’t wait to take a stroll through there again soon…they close it when the water is gushing furiously through there during the snow-melt….one enters at their own risk!
