Hope Visitor Centre & Museum Complex Multi-Cache

Welcome to Hope, BC!

Hope is strategically located at the junction of Hwy 1, 3, 5 and 7 at the confluence of the Fraser and Coquihalla Rivers where the Fraser Valley and Fraser Canyon meet. The area is thus blessed with easily accessible mountainous terrain as well as lakes and rivers that offer outdoor activites that range from camping, hiking, fishing, golf, river rafting, soaring and mountain biking to boating, gold-panning, rockhounding and winter sports (Nordic and downhill skiing, snowboarding and snowshoeing in nearby Manning Park).

Visitors to the area will also enjoy attractions that include the large downtown wood sculptures that make Hope the Chainsaw Carving Capital; the Coquihalla Canyon Provincial Park (featuring the spactacular Othello-Quintette Tunnels of the abandoned Kettle Valley Railway); the Hope slide; various museums/art galleries; and Hell's Gate.
