A rocky tunnel frames a trestle and another tunnel ahead. Some vegetation clings to the walls.
The #othellotunnels or #quintettetunnels aren’t spooky, but they are legendary! Who would consider building a series of tunnels and trestles in a rocky canyon of the #coquihallariver? Shakespeare fan and Engineer Andrew McCullough did in 1914. The #kettlevalleyrailroad used this route until 1956.
The view is through a dark tunnel. A bridge and another tunnel and then another bridge and third tunnel can be seen in the middle of the first tunnel.
A view of a wooden bridge with a wooden railing and iron railings leads to a rocky cliff and a tunnel where the walkway continues. The bridge is in a canyon with river rapids below. The sky is blue and tall evergreen trees somehow cling to the rocky walls.
The river canyon has steep walls of rock with bushes clinging to the walls in some places. Large boulders create rapids and clear slightly blue green water and the rocky bottom can be seen between the rapids.
An artsy image looking almost straight down at the river through the railing. One iron railings is in the centre and the others are symmetrical from this point.
Always enjoy the #othellotunnels in #hopebc! Still partially closed after flooding
