The Tunnel Log was formed when a giant sequoia tree fell across the road in 1937, and instead of removing it, a tunnel was carved through the trunk to allow cars to pass.
The Tunnel Log is approximately 275 feet long and 21 feet in diameter, making it a unique drive-through experience.
The tree that forms the Tunnel Log is estimated to have been over 2,000 years old when it fell.
Vehicles taller than 8 feet 6 inches can bypass the Tunnel Log using a nearby road.
Sequoia National Park regularly maintains the Tunnel Log to ensure its structural integrity and safety for visitors.
Visitors are welcome to walk through the Tunnel Log, offering a unique perspective of the massive sequoia trunk.
Sequoia National Park is home to several other fallen sequoias, each with its own story and history.
