Tunnel Details
This 1.1-mile Zion-Mount Carmel Tunnel was blasted out of the native Zion sandstone over a three-year period ending in 1930. The tunnel is considered one of the park's manmade wonders, but the road is narrow and curving, so RVs and other big vehicles require an escort to pass safely through the tunnel.
