Road Trip - Harrison Hot Springs and Hope BC, Canada

What a fun trip this was! We made this trip in May. We stayed in very curiously decorated vacation rental home near Hope, BC. The house had three levels, with bedrooms in all the levels. The attic was turned into bedroom for kids. The kids (and adults!) had a great time running up and down and discovering all the spaces. We went with 2 other families with kids.

On the way to Hope, BC we visited Bridal Veil Falls and Harrison Hot Springs. The kids enjoyed the small trek up to the falls and enjoyed playing in the sand on Lake Harrison.

The next day, we went on the Hells Gate Tram that takes people across the turbulent waters of the narrowest section of Frasier river. There is also a gift shop, cafe, education centre and a suspension bridge located there. The walk on the pedestrian bridge was exciting!

After stopping for lunch in Hope, we headed to Othello Tunnels. Enjoyed an enthralling walk through the tunnels with stunning views of the canyon and the river.

Interesting Trivia - The movie 'Rambo First blood' has scenes shot in Hope as well as Othello Tunnels!

We drove to Vancouver on the way back to WA, to visit the Vancouver aquarium and that concluded the trip.
