Tunnel Log

A giant sequoia felled in 1937 had a tunnel cut through its trunk so cars can drive right through it, making it a classic photo stop.

This sequoia, about 84 meters tall, fell across the Crescent Meadow road in 1937. The following year a tunnel about 2.4 meters high and 5.2 meters wide was cut through the trunk, allowing cars to drive through. Taller vehicles can use the bypass beside it. The Tunnel Log sits on the road between Moro Rock and Crescent Meadow. On summer weekends, when private cars are restricted, visitors can take the shuttle or walk over to take photos.
