These rivers, lakes, ponds, wetlands and forests provide outdoor classrooms for our students as they explore and come to understand the value of a healthy natural environment. Program Partners Thanks to generous community partnerships, we are able to provide all of our school programs free of charge. The Skagit Environmental Endowment Commission provides funding for the Grade 6 Skagit Valley Camp.

Join us in honouring the Stó:lō seasons of the moon under the Xets’ō:westel moon on a night hike up Thacker Mountain in Hope where astrophotographer and cosmos aficionado Eloi Homier, aka “The Moon Guy Next Door,” will share his passion for the night sky and our closest celestial neighbour, the moon! Come and join us in Hope for an educational night hike under the full moon! While hiking the Thacker Mountain Loop trail you will learn about the lunar cycle, lunar and solar eclipses, star navigation and constellations, as well as “low-tech astronomy.” Learn more about night vision, the effects of light pollution, finding and recognizing the planets, and more! Enjoy a beautiful view over the town of Hope with the towering snow-capped mountains in the background, lit by the night sky. We will stop at various viewpoints along the way where participants will enjoy a hot apple cider treat to keep warm. Educational interpretive walk Hot apple cider & a snack Use of snowshoes if needed 2025 Lunar Calendar Price Includes: Bonus gift for every participant! Each participant will receive their own signed copy of Mr. Homier’s 2025 “Moons over the Salish Sea” Calendar. As he describes it, “it's no run-of-the-mill calendar ... along with the usual moon phases, each month, you’ll find a list of noteworthy astronomical events, such as planetary meet-ups, meteor showers, and eclipses. If you've ever missed a meteor shower or an eclipse, only to see all the posts about it on social media the next day, I know your pain. As your friendly Moon Guy Next Door, my dream is to eliminate those moments of disappointment so you can experience the magic of the night sky in real-time. Get rid of your FOMO (fear of missing out) by having all the best celestial moments right on your Calendar Guide to the Night Sky. You'll also find a QR code on each page that you can scan to get more details about the astronomical highlights of the month and how to view them.” Physical Demand: A moderate level of physical fitness is required.

W hat We're Doing Hope Mountain Centre for Outdoor Learning collaborates with other groups working on grizzly bear conservation in southwestern BC like the Wildlife Branch of BC Ministry of Forests, the Joint Nations Grizzly Bear Initiative and Okanagan Nation Alliance - Grizzly Bear Recovery to share information. We encourage reporting of sightings from the general public by distributing informational posters at retail outlets, trailheads, public buildings and other facilities. Sighting reports are screened by trained personnel and forwarded on to partner organizations like BC government biologists who may follow up with field verification and utilize information in their work. Why? Grizzly bears are extremely rare in most of southwest BC, particularly in the Cascades and the eastern slopes of the Coast Range. The public is being asked to report sightings because every individual grizzly is important to these populations. The BC government lists grizzly bears in Cascades, Garibaldi/Pitt River, Stein/Nahatlatch Rivers and Squamish/Lillooet populations as “threatened.” Estimates indicate that there are fewer than 40 grizzly bears on the eastern slopes of the BC Coast Range and the Cascades in the area stretching from Lillooet to I-90 in Washington State, USA. Grizzly bears are slow to reproduce and slow to recover from low numbers. BC biologists and their counterparts from the US have worked together for years on grizzly bear science and recovery. We hope to invest citizens in a similar vein through citizen science monitoring. Every verified sighting contributes to our knowledge about SW BC’s grizzly bears which in turn helps us understand how vulnerable they are to local extinction. Hikers, climbers, hunters, fishers, photographers, loggers and ranchers – anyone who is recreating or working in the mountains can potentially contribute. The more solid information people have about grizzly bear abundance and distribution, the better their ability to monitor bear recovery. Call the toll-free sightings hotline (1-855-GO-GRIZZ or 1-855-464-7499) if you see a grizzly bear or signs of a grizzly in southwest BC.

Learn more and book now at tourismhcc.ca/vancouver-to-othello-tunnels/ Trail Description Othello Tunnels trail is a spectacular blend of dramatic natural geography and early 20th-century engineering. The route follows a flat, decommissioned section of the historic Kettle Valley Railway. It guides you over elevated bridges and straight through a series of five massive tunnels blasted directly out of solid granite cliffs, hundreds of feet above the roaring, turquoise Coquihalla River. Note the trail is open seasonally from May to October (closed in winter due to falling rock and ice hazards). Dogs on-leash are permitted on the trail, but please be responsible to ensure they are picked up after and do not wander off the trail to disturb wildlife or the surrounding habitat. There is cell phone reception on this trail but it's always best to download any electronic maps you plan on using beforehand such as Gaia GPS or AllTrails . The path is wide, covered in packed gravel, and very easy to navigate—making it popular for families, casual walkers, and on-leash dogs. As you leave the main parking lot, you quickly plunge into the canyon where the air turns cool and crisp. You will pass through the hand-carved, dark interiors of the "Othello Quintette" tunnels, interspersed with open-air trestle bridges. Standing on the bridges, you get a front-row view of the sheer vertical cliffs and the turbulent, churning water below. Quick Tips for Your Visit Bring a light: A couple of the longer tunnels are pitch black in the middle, and the gravel floor can be uneven from overhead water drips. A headlamp, flashlight, or your smartphone light is essential to avoid tripping. Bikes welcome, with a catch: You can ride the trail, but BC Parks requires cyclists to dismount and walk their bikes while passing through the tunnels themselves. Arrive early: Because it is incredibly accessible and scenic, the free parking lot fills up quickly on sunny summer weekends. Weekday mornings or early evenings are the best times to beat the crowds. History The history of the Othello Tunnels is essentially a story of human stubbornness winning a fight against impossible geography. It is widely considered one of the greatest engineering feats of the early 20th century. Here is how a treacherous canyon became a railway line. The Motivation: A Railway Rivalry In the late 1800s and early 1900s, rich deposits of silver, copper, and gold were discovered in the Kootenay region of southern British Columbia. The problem? There was no easy way to get those resources to the coast. The Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) had a monopoly on the northern route, but American rail companies began building lines northward across the border to scoop up the Canadian minerals. To protect Canadian economic interests and secure the border, the CPR commissioned a new, southern rail line: the Kettle Valley Railway (KVR). The Challenge: The Coquihalla Gorge The biggest obstacle on the entire route was the Coquihalla Gorge—a sheer, narrow, 300-meter-deep slot cut through solid granite by the roaring Coquihalla River. Most engineers looked at the canyon and declared it completely impossible to build a railway through it. Enter Andrew McCulloch, the brilliant chief engineer of the KVR. McCulloch took on the challenge in 1911. Instead of trying to blast a wide ledge along the cliff face—which would have been wiped out by constant winter avalanches and rockfalls—McCulloch decided on a radical alternative: he would drill straight through the cliffs. The Engineering Feat: 1911–1916 Building the tunnels was an incredibly dangerous, grueling process that took over four years. Suspended Blasting: Because the canyon walls were near-vertical, workers had to be lowered down the cliffs in wicker baskets suspended by ropes hundreds of feet above the raging river. Dangling in mid-air, they hand-drilled holes into the solid granite, packed them with dynamite, lit the fuses, and were frantically hauled back up before the blast. The "Quintette" Alignment: McCulloch designed a series of five tunnels that perfectly align in a straight line. If you stood at the right spot when they were operational, you could look straight through all five tunnels consecutively. The Cost: The project cost an astronomical $300,000 per mile in 1914 money—roughly five times the budget of a standard railway line at the time. The Shakespeare Connection Andrew McCulloch was a deeply cultured man with a passion for classic literature, particularly William Shakespeare. While spending years in the harsh wilderness managing rough rail crews, he passed the time reading. When it came time to name the stations, sidings, and landmarks along the Coquihalla subdivision, McCulloch ignored local geography and used Shakespearean characters. Thus, the tunnels became Othello, and nearby stops on the line were named Lear, Jessica, Portia, Iago, Romeo, and Juliet. Decommissioning and Legacy The Kettle Valley Railway officially opened in 1916. However, nature never truly stopped fighting back. The Coquihalla route was plagued by washouts, heavy winter snowpacks, mudslides, and rockfalls that made maintenance a constant nightmare. On November 23, 1959, a massive washout destroyed a major section of the tracks just below the tunnels. The CPR decided that the line was simply too expensive and dangerous to keep repairing. The tracks through the Coquihalla Canyon were officially abandoned, and the rails were pulled up in 1961. In 1986, the provincial government recognized the historical and engineering significance of the site, transforming the abandoned rail bed into Coquihalla Canyon Provincial Park so visitors could walk through McCulloch's tunnels on foot.
