Hope, Cascades & Canyons

The Rush of the Fraser Valley

Hope, Cascades and Canyons gets its namesake from its narrow rock canyons, the District of Hope and the North Cascades—the most prominent mountain range in the region. The terrain offers a pristine and natural outdoors experience: from skiing, snowshoeing and snowmobiling through the Coquihalla Lakes winter wonderland to touring vibrant arts & cultural celebrations and the hand-crafted collectables made by local artisans. A place with many different flavours, Hope is also well-known for being the site of the iconic Rambo film, First Blood, and as The Chainsaw Capital for its over 80 chainsaw carvings placed around town.

Before the name HOPE…

Hope Dots

Well before this territory was ever called Hope, it was known by its Halq’eméylem name, Ts’qo:ls, which means “bald” or “bare,” in reference to the native trees of the area. This is
within the surrounding area, S’ólh Téméxw, meaning “our land” or “our world.”

For us, these names serve as a reminder that our organization stems from a lineage of settlers and visitors to this area, the traditional, ancestral land that was first home to the Stó:lō (people of the river) and associated tribes, in particular the Chawathil peoples.

As settlers and visitors, we therefore acknowledge our duty to treat this land and its first people with the utmost respect and gratitude. When you visit, we hope you’ll show that same respect and encourage those who come after you to do likewise.

Alexandra Bridge Provincial Park

*CLOSED UNTIL SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2022*

Alexandra Bridge Provincial Park is a small park centered around the site of the original Cariboo Wagon Road bridge over the Fraser River. The park was established in 1984. It provides both a rest stop and picnic facilities for travelers. This site has been a natural stop-over and crossing of the Fraser River since the area was first populated. Because of its small size, there are limited recreational opportunities within this park. You can access the historic bridge from a trail through the day-use area.
