Coquihalla Canyon Provincial Park
Coquihalla Canyon Provincial Park, Provincial park in Fraser Valley Regional District, Canada.
The park features a deep granite canyon with the Coquihalla River flowing through a series of railway tunnels and bridges in British Columbia.
Canadian Pacific Railway constructed the Kettle Valley Railway through this challenging terrain in 1914, building five tunnels to cross the mountain ranges.
The railway engineer named the stations after Shakespearean characters, including Othello, Romeo, and Juliet, reflecting his interest in literature.
The park remains open from April to October, offering a 3.5-kilometer round trip trail through the tunnels with gravel surfaces.
The granite walls rise 300 feet above the Coquihalla River, where engineers used wicker baskets and cliff ladders during tunnel construction.
