A huge landslide on 9 January 1965 peeled off 47 million cubic metres of rock, the largest in recorded Canadian history at the time. The flow filled a lake in the valley, sloshed 30-60 m up the opposite hillside, and fell back. It buried the highway to a depth of 50 m and it buried some areas of the valley up to 150 m. Several vehicles, stopped below by an earlier slide, were buried, and four were people killed. The scar all the way up Johnson Ridge is still vivid, and it's possible to make out a crease in the trees on the other side of the valley, where the slosh reached. A driveway up from the highway leads to a parking lot with a good view, an explanation, and simple toilets.
The Hope Slide was a landslide that occurred in the morning hours of January 9, 1965 in the Nicolum Valley in the Cascade Mountains near Hope, British Columbia and killed four people. The volume of rock involved in the landslide has been estimated at 47 million cubic metres. It is one of the two largest recorded landslides in Canada.

Othello Tunnels is a popular trail that follows the former Kettle Valley Railway path through rough cut tunnels and shear canyon walls. Popular movie filming location and the most unique walking trail in the area. The park is closed during winter months to continue repairs that due to floods damaged the tunnels in November 2021.
Sucker's Creek
This is one of the best locations in Hope to see salmon spawn. Fall is a particularly active time of year to witness salmon running upstream.
This is a good place to stop if you're looking for travel information, including brochures, maps and self-guided tour routes. There is a small museum (open from mid-May to early-September) and a gift shop. Some staff members are very knowledgeable about the filming of Rambo: First Blood in Hope, and you may be able to arrange a guided tour of the sites if you call ahead.

Lovely, restored cinema showing mainstream movies.
