Othello tunnels

On our way to Merritt to visit our niece and family, my sister and I stopped at the Othello tunnels, outside the town of Hope.  They were constructed in 1914 for the Kettle Valley railway, through solid granite.  We read the information on the displays near the first tunnel, and looked at the photos.

One slip and these surveyors would end up in the river...

I used the flashlight on my phone inside the tunnels as it was very dark!
Exploring by canoe, but why did we bring the dog?
