Sequoia National Park's Tunnel Log

Not a destination in itself, but we drove through it after watching sunrise at Moro Rock (and before the shuttle buses were running). I am still impressed by the size and durability of these trees. Also note that while the tunnel is large enough for most vehicles, the shuttle buses do not go through this tunnel (it is on a short side loop road off Crescent Meadow Road).

So nostalgic to finally get to do this! I recommend going early to beat the crowds. The loop to drive thru is 2 way, but the roads are so narrow that it gets very congested. I wish they would make it a one way.

We love this national park!! Magnificent forest. Massive , awe inspiring trees. Driving under the tunnel log is fun! We weren't able to on this trip because our van is too tall, but there is a bypass to the left.

I just love nature. And this was awesome The whole park adventures. You can go through the tunnel if you have a small car, carefully of course.

Super fun experience. Visit on a weekday so you can drive your own car vs park and ride on a shuttle during the weekend. They close the road. The road is tight for large campers. I would avoid and ride the shuttle.

It was quite crowded. There was a line of vehicles and people were just getting out of the vehicle and taking pictures. Just be mindful of the traffic is a good place to visit.

It’s fun to see our Toyota Sequoia going through a fallen sequoia tunnel log. There is a line to pass through. People are respectful waiting for their turn. There is another road if you don’t want to wait and if you’re in a hurry.

One of the best national parks. We came in on a colder day. The weather was perfect if you're dressed well. There was some fog. The parking situation wasn't too difficult, and the hikes were good. Highly recommend it.
