Hope () is a community of approximately 7,000 people located at the confluence of the Fraser and Coquihalla rivers in the province of British Columbia, Canada. Located 154 kilometers East of Vancouver, Hope is at the southern terminus of the Coquihalla Highway and the western terminus of the Crowsnest Highway, (Highways 5 and 3, respectively) where they merge with the Trans Canada Highway (Highway 1).
The dominating feature of Hope's geology is the Fraser River. The segment from Lytton to Hope passes through the Coast Mountains and contains the famous Fraser Canyon. At Hope, the river enters a broad flood path extending 130 km to the coast and Vancouver.
