Why U.S. Travellers Love Our Northern Treasures
1. Wild Scenery, Wide Open Spaces
Breathe in the crisp mountain air, feel warm Canadian hospitality, wander beneath towering evergreens, and step into a landscape shaped by time, water, and wilderness. In Hope, Cascades & Canyons, we offer all the magic of a northern escape, without the long-haul flight. Tucked in the heart of southern British Columbia, just a short drive from the U.S. border, this is where wild beauty meets small-town charm.
And no matter the political landscape, one thing stays the same—we’re your friendly Canadian neighbours, always ready to welcome you with open arms, warm smiles, and unforgettable experiences.
2. More Canada for Your Dollar
Thanks to the favourable exchange rate, your U.S. dollars go further here, meaning more nights in cozy cabins, more local eats, more unforgettable adventures… without stretching your budget. It’s a bucket list getaway at a down-to-earth price.
3. A Gateway to Authentic Culture
Connect with the land and its stories. Learn about the rich Indigenous heritage of the Stó:lō (staw-low), Nlaka’pamux (ent-la-cap-um), and Syilx (see-yeel-x) Nations, visit local art galleries, hike historic trails, or dive into our gold rush and railway history in spots like Yale Historic Site, Othello Tunnels, Hell’s Gate Airtram, and Tashme Museum.
4. Scenic Drives
From the Coquihalla Summit, to Crowsnest Highway 3, and the Fraser Canyon, every turn reveals a new vista, a new adventure. And best of all? You’ll have it mostly to yourself.
5. Wildlife Encounters Like No Other
Spot bears, yellow-bellied and hoary marmots, bighorn sheep, pikas, moose, deer, beavers, river otters, coyotes, lynx—and even the occasional cougar. For those who love life on the water, cast a line for prehistoric White Sturgeon, some that can exceed 13ft and weigh more than 1500 pounds, in the mighty Fraser River. This is where nature reigns—and you’re invited to witness it.
6. Close Enough for a Weekend
Just 2.5 hours from Seattle and less than an hour from the Sumas border crossing, Hope, Cascades & Canyons is the perfect road trip escape—easy to reach, and impossible to forget.
