Nobody leads the day. The bus drops you off, you do what you like with the time, and you meet it again where it left you.
Flat and short, on even ground, with no climbing and no rush. This is a walk rather than a hike, and you set the pace.
Sunshine Valley sits just east of Hope, on the Crowsnest Highway. Big mountains all around, clean cold air, and not much noise. 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.
The old NatureLink route went to the Othello Tunnels. This one goes to Sunshine Valley instead. It is a quiet little resort community, ringed by forests, peaks, and history.
We pick you up
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.
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.
We drop you back
The bus returns to the same place it left from, so you go home the way you came.
This is our estimated return time, not a guarantee. Traffic can change it and some trips do run late, so please leave yourself some room afterwards rather than booking something tight against it.

Speaking from someone who doesn't drive. This is a must!! I highly recommend this!Linda Ann · Facebook · Jun 2024
Highly recommend them. The bus service is so useful for people who doesn't want to drive and gives return facility. They were on time and bus facility was good too. Total worth the cost if you want to avoid hassle driving/parking.Sidhant Duggal · Facebook · Aug 2022
Factor in the cost of gas, parking and renting a car, it's a lot cheaper than taking a personal vehicle.Toronto Star
Parkbus is a great option for nature lovers, whether it's a day trip or overnight camping getaway.The Globe and Mail
Cancel more than 14 days before departure and you get a 90% refund, with 10% withheld for payment processing. Inside 14 days refunds are not available, except for a medical emergency in the 48 hours before departure, which needs a signed doctor’s note within 14 days of the missed trip and returns 50%. Tickets are transferable: you can change the passenger name up to 48 hours before departure.
If Parkbus cancels a trip, you get a full refund. We decide no later than 48 hours before departure and only on confirmed conditions: the park closed or the park authority asking us to stand down, an evacuation order or alert, an area restriction order, the highway closed, or the trip judged unsafe to run. A forecast is not one of those things, and trips run rain or shine.
Supported by TD and AdvantageHope as part of the NatureLink programme, which is what keeps this shuttle at $40.
