Tucked just east of Hope along the Crowsnest Highway, Sunshine Valley offers a quiet, nature-rich getaway framed by dramatic mountains and crisp alpine air. It's an ideal spot for travellers seeking a slower pace and easy access to the outdoors — a refreshing contrast to busier provincial parks, perfect for unwinding in nature without strenuous hiking.
While previous NatureLink routes visited the Othello Tunnels, this updated service now brings visitors to Sunshine Valley, a peaceful resort-style community surrounded by forests, peaks, and history.
Forested walking paths suitable for families and casual explorers — no strenuous hiking required.
Dramatic peaks that shift beautifully with the seasons, in every direction.
Sightings from birds to the occasional deer, right around the valley.
Cabins, lodges, and friendly local businesses in a peaceful community.
One easy loop from Vancouver: Sunshine Valley and the Tashme Museum, the Hope Slide viewpoint, and free time in downtown Hope — home the same evening.
Meet in front of the Bentall Centre courtyard (look for TD Bank). Get there 15 minutes early, settle into the coach, and leave the driving to us for the trip out along the Crowsnest Highway.
Step out into the alpine air of Sunshine Valley. Wander the forested paths, take in the mountains, and visit the Sunshine Valley Tashme Museum — now included with your ticket — right in the valley. There's a driver break here too.
A short stop at the Hope Slide viewpoint, site of one of the largest landslides in Canadian history — a dramatic, sweeping look across the valley before we roll into town.
Over three hours to explore Hope at your own pace. Find the 80+ chainsaw carvings around town, follow the self-guided Rambo: First Blood filming tour, browse Wallace Street's shops, and grab lunch, coffee, or ice cream. Relax in Memorial Park between it all.
We roll back into downtown Vancouver in the early evening — same spot we left from, with the day's mountain air still in your lungs.
Located in the settlement of Sunshine Valley, the Sunshine Valley Tashme Museum offers a glimpse into the area’s past, highlighting the experiences of those interned in the area during WWII. The Sunshine Valley Tashme Museum tells visitors about one of the largest Japanese Canadian internment camps in BC and includes many powerful details, such as:
The museum itself is relatively small, making it possible for those visiting Sunshine Valley for shorter periods of time to learn about the local history. It is also wheelchair accessible and family friendly.
The Tashme internment camp was established by the Canadian government to house Japanese families and individuals during WWII and fears surrounding Japanese war efforts ran rampant. It was opened in 1942 and designed to hold 500 Japanese-Canadian families and was 1 of the 8 Japanese-Canadian internment camps in British Columbia. It was located outside of the “100-mile quarantine zone,” which limited Japanese-Canadian’s access to the coast significantly. At the time of its closure in 1946, the camp was the (forced) home of around 2400 people.
After the camp was closed, the Tashme settlement was renamed “Sunshine Valley,” and soon became a quiet and peaceful place for people to live. The Sunshine Valley Tashme Museum was opened in 2016 and has since continued to search for the lost stories of the internment camp.
Explore Sunshine Valley.
The NatureLink shuttle connects city travellers with one of BC's most scenic mountain communities — no car required, and the driving's on us both ways.

Sunshine Valley, the Hope Slide viewpoint, and downtown Hope — all in a single easy loop.
Gentle trails and walkable downtown — relaxed enough for families and casual explorers.
Add the Tashme Museum for $10 and connect with an important chapter of Canadian history.
One pickup in downtown Vancouver, returning to the same spot in the evening. Get there 15 minutes early.
In front of the Bentall Centre courtyard, where you'll also see TD Bank. We recommend getting there 15 minutes early to make sure you have enough time for the bus.
