Indira and I visited Westminster Abbey today and then took a stroll on the Heritage Mountain Hike via Westminster Abbey Trail. Sadly, part of the trail was closed but it was still a beautiful walk with incredible views.

The Othello Tunnels trace their origins back to the early 1900s, when British Columbia faced the daunting challenge of connecting its rugged Interior to the coast. The Kettle Valley Railway, a bold and ambitious project, was envisioned as a lifeline for communities scattered across the province’s mountainous terrain. One of the most difficult stretches lay through the Coquihalla Gorge, a narrow canyon carved by the rushing river and walled in by sheer granite cliffs.

here are places that invite us to pause, not because they are loud or grand, but because they quietly whisper their stories. Fraser River Heritage Park is one of those places. Perched high above the Fraser River Valley in Mission, British Columbia, this park offers some of the most breathtaking views in the region. The kind of views that encourages us to linger a little longer and simply breathe it all in.
