Coquihalla Canyon / Chapman Gorge
This is one of the most spectacular destinations on your First Blood tour and is worth the trip alone. The Othello tunnels were developed by CPR Engineer Andrew McCulloch for the Kettle Valley Railway and were constructed between 1911 and 1916. The tunnels served as a direct line to the interior of British Columbia until it was abandoned in 1959 due to a major wash out and finally decommissioned in 1961. It then became a provincial park in 1986 and has been a major tourist attraction since. Parking is free and is a scenic 10 to 15 minute walk to the start of the first tunnel.
After walking through the first tunnel you will look up and see where the iconic scene of Rambo jumping of the cliff took place. When you look down to the riverbed on your left you'll see where Rambo was yelling up at the Police and then drawing them down to the Gorge. When you walk through the second tunnel ( which is very small ) you'll look to your right and see where Rambo fell into the tree. This scene along with the one where Galt is shooting at him and falling out of the helicopter were filmed at this location. The famous Rambo tree has been gone since the big flood in 1995
