othello tunnels.

The Othello Tunnels are near Hope, BC, which is east of Vancouver. They're a series of five tunnels and a series of bridges over the Coquihalla River that used to be for trains. Now decommissioned, they're walking paths that are open to the public…in the summer. When we went, there was so much snow that they'd been closed and gated off. Never being ones to be easily deterred, we hopped the fence (well…Jeff hopped the fence…he threw me over). It was well worth it, albeit a bit creepy with the chance of falling icicles and rocks above us as we carefully made our way through the tunnels. By the time we were making our way back out, it had started to snow, which made the walk back even that much more beautiful.
