Coquihalla Canyon Provincial Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Coquihalla Canyon Provincial Park, popularly called The Othello Tunnels is a provincial park located near Hope, British Columbia.
Originally part of the Kettle Valley Railway, five tunnels and a series of bridges follow a relatively straight line through a gorge lined with sheer, flat rock cliffs.
The park's fantastic rock cliffs and relative close distance to Vancouver (one of two Canadians cities referred to as Hollywood North) has resulted in many popular movies being filmed there. Rambo: First Blood, Shoot to Kill, and The Adventures of Yellow Dog were all filmed in Coquihalla Canyon.
The location is easily recognizable when watching Rambo: First Blood where Sylvester Stallone hangs off the cliff while a helicopter tries to snipe him down.
