Sequoia National Park's Tunnel Log, a fallen giant sequoia on Crescent Meadow Road fell naturally in 1937 and, the following summer, a tunnel was cut through it as a visitor attraction. Originally standing at 275 feet tall and 21 feet in diameter, the tree's tunnel remains in use today, measuring 17 feet wide and 8 feet high. There's also a bypass for taller vehicles.

In the NP there are some fallen trees with tunnels. This one is so big that a car can drive through. To make sure that this works, there is a specially constructed bypass. A great photo opportunity...
