A drive-through tunnel created from a fallen giant sequoia tree.

Tips from the community

Not to be mistaken with the fallen tunnel tree in Yosemite National Park, this fallen sequoia log (AKA, Tunnel Log) is in the Giant Forest at Sequoia National Park and is large enough to drive your car through. This mighty sequoia tumbled due to national causes in 1937 and has been a major tourist attraction ever since.
