This giant sequoia fell across the road in 1937. Rather than remove it, Civilian Conservation Corps workers (the CCC) tunneled through it, creating the only "tree-you-can-drive-through" in these parks. The famous standing tunnel tree in Yosemite collapsed in 1969. Check out the wayside exhibit here for more details.
