Othello and the Quintettes

No, it's not a new band referred to in the title, but some old tunnels close to Hope ;-)
Leaving Hope and heading up the Coquihalla Highway one quite early encounters an exit called Othello. Not the only exit or landmark bearing a Shakespearean name, but to my knowledge the only one leading to railway tunnels right by the river.
Once you've found the parking lot, be prepared for a lot of GREEN!


In case you are wondering: You're in the valley of the Coquihalla River:


After a bit of river valley, one sees the first of the tunnels (there are 5, as the name suggests ;-)

Between tunnels 2 & 3 (or 3&4?), the track crosses the river on a bridge. The sun wasn't hitting the rocks in the water yet, so the pictures are not as amazing as last year ;-(
