I am sure this is a fantastic experience but its currently shut down while the BC parks service shores up the tunnel walls. So check before you go to see if they are open.

Great views of the river and some brilliant water falls, flat walking and scenery to rival lots of other places. Car parking is out in the country so leave no valuables in your vehicle. A good afternoon out.

A great place for a walk - close enough to the river that you can feel the spray, kids loved walking through the tunnels and over the bridges. Read up on the history of the railway and how it was built for even more enjoyment. You can park, walk the trail, and have someone pick you up at the lower... More

These historic tunnels carried the Kettle Valley Railroad through the Coquihalla Pass a century ago. Now it is a walking and cycling trail. The tunnels are beside the raging river and under towering cliffs. Spectacular - well worth a stop when traveling Highway 5 (Coquihalla).

This is where they did some scenes from the movie Firstblood. Very educational with signs explaining the lay out of the tunnels.
