Tunnel Rock

Tunnel Rock

The Civilian Conservation Crew dug the tunnel beneath this rock in 1938, long before anyone imagined the number and size of the modern vehicles that would use the road. Widening of the Generals Highway in 1997 made it impossible to pass safely through the opening, so Tunnel Rock was by-passed. However, a pull-out adjacent to the rock will still allow visitors to walk through the tunnel.
