Since Scoob discovered this was the film location for Rambo First Blood, we'd been planning our full day in Hope:
  • Self-guided Rambo tour all around the town, using the map from the Visitor Centre and passing tons of fascinating chainsaw statues
  • Othello Tunnels - also used in the film but an impressive feature nonetheless :lol:
  • Mt Hope Lookout, which had a very well kept path all the way with steps, handrails, even a short chain at one section... then only a bench at the actual lookout but nothing else to say this was the end point (didn't continue up the boulder field)
Another action-packed day! Off to Vancouver first thing the next morning for one more busy day :crazy: :lol:
