TS’QO:LS Looking Back Hope can trace its roots back 8,000 – 10,000 years ago with the Stó:lō First Nations settlements The Indigenous settlement period starts with the first traces of people living in the Fraser Valley, when the Stó:lō First Nations were in the area. An important Stó:lō community was located where the District of Hope sits today. The community, called Ts’qo:ls, was a major population and transportation hub, home to thousands of people, and an essential stopping point for trade between nearby communities.

In late 1782, a smallpox epidemic among the Stó:lō killed thousands, an estimated two thirds of the population. The

European settlement period of Hope history begins in 1808.

Explorer Simon Fraser arrived in what is now Hope, and the Hudson’s Bay Company created the Fort Hope trading post in 1848.

The area was transformed by the Fraser Canyon Gold Rush, beginning in 1858. The following year Governor James Douglas laid out the Fort Hope townsite. Hope became part of the Colony of British Columbia when the new British colony was created on August 2, 1858. Along with the rest of British Columbia, Hope became part of Canada in 1871.

In 1858, miners from across Canada and the United States started flooding the Fraser Canyon in search of gold and riches. The influx of gold, money, and people made it necessary to build safer and more substantial routes through the Canyon; thus, the Cariboo Wagon Road was built (by hand, pick, and shovel) between 1862 and 1864.

In 1885, predominantly Chinese labourers completed the Canadian Pacific Railway. This line connected B.C. to the rest of the country. In less than 77 years, travel in the canyon had gone from canoes and ladders to a major national rail line.

Hope incorporated as a Village on April 6, 1929, became a town on January 1, 1965, and was incorporated as a District Municipality named the District of Hope on December 7, 1992.

HOPE | CASCADES | CANYONS

Hope lost one of its original carvers.

Pete Ryan left a legacy of carvings all over the region, including the large bear that stands in downtown Hope, marmots at East and West Gate in Manning Park and many other carvings throughout the community.

Pete was also known globally through two TV series, Saw Dogs and Carver Kings.

In past years, renowned artists like Ryan Cook, Ryan Villiers, Mark Colp and Chris Folz have competed at Hope’s WorldClass Chainsaw Competition. This is where you can witness the carvers in action creating their masterpieces.

There is also an opportunity to purchase your own carving during the Speed Carving Auctions that take place Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons. To make sure you don’t miss the fun and excitement of this year’s competition, mark off August 17 to 20 in your calendar.

A New Attraction The carving of Sheriff Will Teasle from the movie First Blood, played by actor Brian Dennehy, was unveiled during the Rambo First Blood 40th Anniversary Celebrations in Hope in October 2022. During the summer months Teasle watches over downtown Hope.

This carving was done by Ryan Villiers, who was a competitor on the recent Discovery TV Series A Cut Above.

The winner of 2021’s competition, this First Nations Chief with a full feathered head dress carved by Levi Caya, will have a permanent home in Spring 2023 at Centennial Park overlooking the Fraser River.

Round Trip Distance: 6.7 km Time: 3.5 hours

One-way Distance: 75 km Time: Multi-day trail

Hope’s newest trail is also known by the Halqemeylem name Kw’okw’echiwel Stl’aleqem, meaning “Lookout of the Two-Headed Serpent.”

This 166-year-old trail crosses the Cascade Mountains from Hope to Otter Lake (Tulameen). This fur ‘brigade trail’ is the reason Fort Hope was built by the Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC) in 1848.

The trail starts at approximately the 1.7 km mark on Silver Skagit Road and takes you approximately 3 km from the trailhead to a lookout over Hope, with an amazing view.

There are switchbacks and cedar staircases to guide you through some of the tougher uphill terrain. Check at the HCC Visitor Information Centre for trail condition.

You can access the trail via four different Forest Service Roads (FSRs): Peers Creek, Sowaqua Creek, Jacobson Lake, and Lodestone Lake.

For information on all of our hiking trails pick up a free copy of the Trails of Hope map at the Hope, Cascades & Canyons Visitor Centre.

Every year, thousands of people visit Hope from around the world to see their favourite filming locations.

HOLLYWOOD NORTH

Since then, more than 15 feature films, including the recently released super natural horror movie Antlers, produced by award winning producer Guillermo del Toro, have been filmed in the area. Several Hallmark films have used Hope’s downtown shopfronts and Memorial Park as stand-ins for quaint Christmas towns. Our diverse history has also made Hope a popular location for documentary filming. In 2009, local filmmaker Eva Wunderman chronicled the 1858 conflict between First Nations and European gold seekers in Canyon War. Our rugged terrain is perhaps best highlighted in the Discovery Channel show Highway Thru Hell. The series follows Hope’s own Jamie Davis and his crew as they work to keep local highways open for truckers during unpredictable winter weather.

FISHING Photo by Great River Fishing Adventures

Triassic Park Welcome to Our World where time stood still

by Great River Fishing Adventures The Fraser Canyon from Hope to Lillooet is arguably one of the finest and most beautiful areas to fish and visit. If you are looking for history, culture, tradition and more importantly, an adventure experience of a lifetime, this is the place to stay and play.

Yale, and the surrounding area, is considered the birthplace of British Columbia, where at the turn of the century (1900) there were nearly 100,000 people living here. This might not seem like a lot of people in today’s standards, however when you consider that B.C.’s entire population was a mere 178,000 then, it puts things into perspective.

The Fraser River Gold Rush began in 1858 and was the drawing card bringing people here for the fortunes of gold. In these modern times the “new gold” is experiencing catching and releasing a white sturgeon. There are also five different species of Pacific salmon along with steelhead, searun cutthroat, rainbow and bull trout that return from the ocean to our mighty Fraser River and its tributaries.

These fish pass through our waters on their annual spawning runs. However there is a massive fish that calls these waters

38

home all year — yes, sturgeon can be caught and released 365 days per year and this provides lots of opportunity for locals and world travellers.

White sturgeon populations are currently stable and we see fish in many various size ranges. Different size ranges of sturgeon allows for a fishery that everyone can enjoy, from novice to expert. These fish challenge all levels of anglers and even non-anglers. It is an easy fishing experience and one that usually yields great catches each time out.

There are professional fishing guides in the area with boats and equipment to ensure your experience is safe and also one that will allow you to learn more about this incredible species.

Science and data was started in 1995 and to present time there has been nearly 70,000 unique Pitt tags placed in sturgeon from the mouth of the Pacific Ocean to Lillooet.

There is always a cumulative effect of fishing and we can boast that the recreational and guide angling has a .0012 mortality on sport-caught sturgeon. This holds well for a strong future in sharing this resource with the world and well into the future.

HOPE | CASCADES | CANYONS

White sturgeon are literal dinosaurs that have been on earth for 200 to 300 million years and are from the Triassic era.

Have you ever touched a true living dinosaur? They are known throughout the world for their incredible power and aerial display once hooked, these giants are the world’s largest freshwater big game fish. They will put the angler to the ultimate test with reel-screaming runs and unbridled stamina.

HERITAGE INN Comfort in the heart of Hope!

The Fraser River has the healthiest population of these magnificent fish in the world, and we are truly fortunate to have such a unique and thriving resource at our doorstep in the Hope, Canyon, Cascades area. In the past decades, salmon and steelhead fishing was the lifeline of our Fraser River fisheries and was the backbone of not only sportfishing but also tourism. People flocked from all over the nation and world to catch the chinook and to see the runs of sockeye, which reached upwards of 30 million fish in peak years.

These runs have faded, however there is still opportunity on years where the salmon numbers exceed the escapement goals. All salmon species return each year except for pink salmon and they are plentiful on odd cycle years such as 2023, 2025, 2027 and so on, when this run can reach upwards of eight million fish. Pink salmon are fun, easy to catch and a good family fishing experience.

There is also an incredible traditional and cultural valued fishery with the Indigenous people in our area. It was 10,000 years ago when the last ice age carved out the Fraser Canyon and since then Indigenous peoples have relied on the salmon run.

The unique “wind-drying sockeye salmon” can only be done in the Fraser Canyon areas with the hot winds and low moisture.

Local Indigenous people referred to this fish as their currency in those days. It is a food that is light to pack, full of protein and fat, and it was used to trade for other goods from other regions in the province that were needed to survive the year.

You can still see wind-drying technique being practised on years when the sockeye salmon runs are plentiful for harvest, and it is quite the sight for locals and visitors touring the region.

There are also many other local fishing opportunities like rainbow trout, along with cutthroat and bull trout. The Hope area is their home and these fish can be found in most of the lakes, streams and rivers within an hour drive. Some good places to start searching for these willing battlers would be the Skagit River (considered by many to be a blue ribbon dry fly stream) and Coquihalla River, as well as Ross Lake, Kawkawa Lake, Jones Lakes and Lake of the Woods. Keep in mind that Kawkawa Lake also has scrappy Kokanee (land-locked sockeye salmon) and a decent population of bass. It’s truly a gem of a lake so close to Hope.

Whatever your speed, there is a fishery nearby that will meet your needs. Before venturing out, please remember to check with local tackle stores and the Freshwater Fishing Synopsis for local angling regulations. Come join us in this unique adventure zone, have a safe, eventful and fun time exploring the waters of Hope, Canyon and Cascades.

First Nations Roots Stó:lō history going back 9,000 Years The town of Hope sits on traditional Stó:lō territory – the original name for the village was Ts’qo:ls. Thousands of years of Stó:lō and Nlaka’pamux life, work and play are written into the rivers and mountains of Hope and the surrounding area.

Stó:lō are part of the Halq’eméylem language group, which is part of the Coast Salish family of languages. “Stó:lō” is the Halq’eméylem word for the [Fraser] river, thus Stó:lō are “the river people.”

Thanks to a concerted effort by the Stó:lō Nation and the school district, there is increasingly more traditional language training. Halq’eméylem classes are now part of elementary education in the district.

Stó:lō history in this area goes back 9,000 years. Salmon and cedar allowed for permanent settlements and an elaborate social system. When the Hudson Bay Company set up Fort Hope in 1848 and 30,000 miners flooded the region in 1858, life was forever changed in the Fraser Canyon.

VISIT THE

CASCADES

Sunshine Valley A scenic little community nestled in the mountains 19 kilometres east of Hope along Highway 3, Sunshine Valley has hundreds of kilometres of trails perfectly designed for snowshoeing, ATVs, snowmobiles, hiking, and biking. They wind their way through the forests of the Sumallo and Nicolum River valleys.

Its shallow lake offers paddling in the summer and skating in the winter.

In 1942, the Canadian government created a coastal exclusion zone and Japanese-Canadians living within that zone were interned in camps across the country. Between 1942 and 1946, approximately 2,600 people were interned at Sunshine Valley, then called Tashme. The name Tashme is derived from the last names of the men responsible for the camp: Taylor, Shirras and Mead.

After the war, a significant number of internees stayed in the area and built a vibrant Japanese-Canadian community in Hope.

The museum on the site now receives visitors from around the world, including dignitaries from Japan, and movie stars like George Takei from Star Trek.

A 20-acre RV resort is located within the community which includes cabins and a convenience store plus an indoor and outdoor pool.

HOPE | CASCADES | CANYONS

The Hope Slide One of the largest recorded landslides in Canadian history In the early morning hours of January 9, 1965 – a mere sixteen years after it opened – Highway 3 was suddenly and unexpectedly blocked when a slab of rock fractured away from the face of Johnson Peak, resulting in the Hope Slide.

The force of the slide was such that the 100 million tonnes of debris travelled 60 metres up Mt. Coulter on the opposite side of the valley before settling again over the Hope-Princeton Highway. The resultant debris was 85 metres deep and three kilometres wide. The snow, mud and rock that slid from the mountain were enough to obliterate Beaver (Outram) Lake from the topography of the valley. Despite its sheer size, the Hope Slide killed only four people.

The impact of the slide set off seismographic readings at a monitoring station in Penticton, which led to the belief that the slide was caused by an earthquake. However, geologists today note that the Hope Slide was caused by weak layers of rock simply giving way to gravity.

Today, visitors travelling along Highway 3 are actually driving 55 metres above the original highway surface. At the Hope Slide viewpoint, visitors can see the scars that were left on Johnson Peak and Mt. Coulter by the slide.

PARKS & CAMPING Manning Park A four-season resort Manning Park Resort, located in the E. C. Manning Provincial Park, has a yearround hotel, cabins and chalet, which complements the park’s numerous campgrounds and makes this a place for everyone. The resort’s 140-seat Alpine Room is perfect for weddings, reunions and conferences.

Summer During the summer months, visitors to the park can enjoy canoeing and swimming at Lightning Lake and hike a variety of trails that wind through alpine meadows.

Winter Manning Park Resort boasts alpine and nordic resort skiing and snowboarding, snowshoe trails, lift-serviced tubing, lessons, a quad lift and an outdoor skating rink.

E.C. Manning Park is one of the most popular parks in B.C. averaging more than one million visitors every year. To learn more visit manningpark.com.

Camping There are four original campgrounds in the park for summer use: Lightning Lake, Cold Spring, Hampton and Mule Deer. Some or all of their sites are reservable along with flush toilets and access to drinking water. The Lone Duck campground is available for summer group camping and is 100 percent reservable.

Fully Serviced Campground The Skyview Campground, located near the LIghtning Lake day-use area, offers 90 sites in the summer and 60 sites in the winter. All of the sites have hookups for water and sewer with as much as 50-amp power on the winter sites. There is also a heated shower building, which enhances your winter camping experience.

Hiking There are hundreds of kilometres of trails in Manning Park that vary from 20 minutes to four days to complete. Some of the most popular are: Mt. Frosty, Lightning Lake Loop and Cascades Lookout.

Star Gazing BC Highway 3, known as the Crowsnest Highway, has also been known as the Dark Sky Highway for many years. There are no major cities along this route, which in turn limits light pollution at night.

Manning Park offers some of the best stargazing around. With multiple viewing locations and very limited light pollution, the views are incredible. Some recommended star gazing locations are the Lightning Lake Day-use area, Cascade Lookout (in the summer) or even Windy Joe’s Field near the resort. Watch for Dark Sky events scheduled throughout the year, such as guided snowshoe and Nordic tours.

THE

FRASER CANYON

“Train-spotting” is popular in the Fraser Canyon On scenic routes rich in human history First Nations traversed the canyon walls using ropes, ladders and bridges. They built a trail network that connected their villages, enabling trade, hunting and resource gathering.

The traditional transportation routes through the canyon were not suitable for the massive influx of people after the Fraser River Gold Rush in 1858. First a mule trail (1858) and then the Cariboo Wagon Road (1863) allowed for the overland travel of miners and supplies. A section of the original mule trail is visible near the southern entrance to Hell’s Gate Tunnel.

Sections of the Cariboo Wagon Road can be seen at a pullout south of the Yale Tunnel and at Alexandra Bridge Provincial

46

Park. The original Alexandra Bridge was the main river crossing the 600 km road from Fort Yale to Barkerville.

Travel between communities in the canyon changed immeasurably when the Canadian Pacific Railway was completed in 1885. The Canadian National Railway (on the opposite bank of the Fraser) was completed in 1915.

The first automobile road came in 1926, but the modern highway wasn’t completed until the early 1960s. The highway today passes through seven tunnels that were blasted through the sheer rock face by road engineers in the late 1950s. These tunnels range in length from 57 to 610 metres (11th longest tunnel in Canada).

YALE HISTORIC SITE

Yale - A Living History Step back in time Yale – established by the Hudson’s Bay Company in 1848 – was once the largest city north of San Francisco and west of Chicago. Yale grew to an estimated 30,000 people during the 1858 gold rush. With the construction of the Cariboo Wagon Road in the 1860s, Yale became the terminus for one of the largest sternwheeler routes in North America and bustled with the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway in the 1880s.

GOLD RUSH

GRAB A SLICE

The Fraser River Gold Rush Instrumental in the foundation of British Columbia as a colony N’laka’pamux First Nations had been pulling gold out of the river for nearly a decade prior to the European ‘discovery’ of gold. At the time, access to gold (along with furs and salmon), superior knowledge of the land and a higher population led to the N’laka’pamux holding significant political power in the Fraser Canyon.

• Carryout & delivery • Delivery available to motels & campgrounds • Order online or download the app

In the early 1850s, the Hudson’s Bay Company and territorial leaders wanted to keep the existence of gold a secret in order to stop American miners from flooding the region. When word eventually spread, miners from the United States started to venture north.

Localized disputes regarding disruption of the salmon run and violence perpetuated by miners against First Nations nearly led to all-out war on the banks of the Fraser River in 1858. This came to be known as the Canyon War.

HOPE | CASCADES | CANYONS

The Canyon War was characterized by violent skirmishes between Nlaka’pamux and the Miner’s Militia. In late summer, Nlaka’pamux Chief David Spintlum negotiated peace between the parties and stopped the war from escalating further. As a result of the Canyon War, British authorities acted quickly, establishing a company of soldiers in the region and lobbying London for full colony status.

HISTORIC PARK Alexandra Bridge Provincial Park Bridging cultures in the Fraser Canyon Built in 1926 in the traditional territory of the Spuzzum First Nation, the current Alexandra Bridge rests on the foundations of the original Cariboo Wagon Road bridge that was constructed in 1863 near the ancient village of Kequelose, a traditional crossing point on the Fraser River. The original bridge was the main river crossing of the 600 km road from Fort Yale to Barkerville but was decommissioned in 1964 after the construction of the new Alexandra Bridge, two kilometres downstream. You can still see the stone footings of the original bridge.

In the summer of 2022, restoration work began on the historic bridge by Heritage Masonry. In 2009, the Spuzzum First Nation and New Pathways to Gold Society formed a coalition dedicated to preserving the bridge. Other partners involved in the projects include B.C.’s Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI), BC Parks, BC Heritage Branch, Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Development, CN and HeritageWorks.

A short trail takes you down into the canyon and across the bridge. Sections of the Cariboo Wagon Road can be seen at the

52

park. A parking lot with picnic tables is located on the south side of the Trans Canada Highway.

Tikwalus Trail is a challenging 13 kilometre route north of Alexandra Bridge Provincial Park. In 1846, the Oregon Treaty forced the Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC) to look for an alternative route to the Pacific. Chief trader Alexander Caulfield Anderson enlisted the First Nations guides to show him the Tikwalus Heritage Trail in June 1847. The company expanded the trail into a “horse portage” and in 1848 sent the annual brigade down the rugged trail. Lack of food for the horses and the difficult water crossings resulted in 70 horses and 22 valuable packs being lost. The HBC abandoned the trail in favour of a route between Hope and Princeton.

A decade after the fur trade disaster, more than 30,000 gold seekers arrived in the Fraser Canyon and the trail was used to get pack trains from Spuzzum to Boston Bar. By 1863, the Cariboo Wagon Road was built and replaced the Tikwalus Heritage Trail.

HOPE | CASCADES | CANYONS

Boston Bar & North Bend Fascinating history and natural beauty awaits In the heart of the Fraser Canyon, 50 minutes north of Hope, lie the twin communities of Boston Bar and North Bend.

The original settlement on the west side of the river was a Nlaka’pamux village called Koiaum. In what has become a familiar story in the canyon, the Fraser River Gold Rush changed the people and places forever. American miners chasing the mother lode settled in the area and renamed the village Boston Bar in the 1860s. When the Canadian Pacific Railway was completed in 1885 Boston Bar moved to the east side of the river and the western town was renamed North Bend.

From 1940-1986, an aerial ferry connected the two communities. When the ferry was replaced with the Cog Harrington Bridge, it was moved to Francis Harrington Park in downtown Boston Bar. Visitors can now explore the history of the aerial ferry and the two communities it served through a series of interpretive signs.

The Heritage Room at the Old North Bend Primary School has a number of exhibits about the history of Boston Bar and North Bend. This facility is operated by volunteers.

KW’IK-W’IYA:LA Stó:lō and Nlaka’pamux Thousands of years of their life, work and play is written into the rivers and mountains of Hope and the surrounding area The Fraser River – considered to be the greatest salmon river on earth - is called ‘Stó:lō’ by the people who share its name.

It has always been their greatest source of food and the five species of Pacific salmon that travel upstream throughout the year are a foundation of traditional Stó:lō culture. The abundant and reliable salmon resource allowed the Stó:lō to live in permanent settlements and nourished the development of elaborate social systems, art and technology.

Another of the most valuable resources in the region was the cedar tree, which was used in all aspects of First Nations life.

Along the Tikwalus Heritage Trail – just north of Hope in the heart of Nlaka’pamux territory – hikers can see evidence of cedar

gathering, on the culturally modified trees, which dot the trail.

By 1848, Hudson Bay Company forts such as Hope and Yale gave the First Nations access to a wider variety of trade goods, such as steel tools, cooking pots and guns. Several villages opted to move closer to HBC forts to better enable trade.

The gold rush of 1858 changed Stó:lō and Nlaka’pamux life forever as 30,000 miners flooded their territory. By 1864, large reserves were set aside for the Stó:lō, but these were cut by 92 percent in 1867, leaving less than 10 acres per family. Today, the Stó:lō are still engaged in negotiations with government over resources, rights and title within their traditional territory.

Stó:lō Cultural Tours Consider taking a guided Bad Rock Tour, through Stó:lō Tourism. Enjoy the majestic mountains and waterways of the Upper Fraser Valley on a tour departing from Chilliwack destined for the scenic Fraser Canyon above historic Yale. Listen and learn about the unique relationship between the Stó:lō, “the River People,” their land and their environment.

HELL’S GATE Suspend Above the Mighty Faser A trip through the Fraser Canyon would not be complete without a stop at Hell’s Gate In 1808, explorer Simon Fraser described this section of the Fraser River as a place “where no human being should ever venture, for surely we have encountered the gates of hell.” Aboriginal guides led Fraser and his crew over rope ladders strung from the cliffs above the turbulent river.

Blasting during the construction of the Canadian National Railway in 1913 resulted in a landslide that wiped out millions of salmon and seemed to permanently block their upriver spawning path. In 1937, Canada and the U.S. worked together to create the International Fishways, a series of ladders which allow salmon to navigate the rapids at Hell’s Gate.

The Fraser River’s entire flow of water from its 135,185 km2 watershed rushes through the narrow gorge at 757 million litres per minute. At 40 km/h, twice the volume of Niagara Falls roars through during spring run-off in May/June.

Hell’s Gate Airtram celebrates the end of its season with its annual Pumpkin Drop Oct. 7 – 9. Drop your pumpkin from the tram, hit the target and have a chance to win prizes.
