Tunnels of Zion

One of the more exciting features of driving Zion are the tunnels.  I feel like a kid when I drive through them....   such a difference from side to side.  There are at least three tunnels.  The big tunnel is the largest.  It really can't be documented .... it's so dark and long.... over a mile long!!!

Note that all the tunnels were hand dug..... just jack hammers shovels and a little dynamite...

 

On the large tunnel they only allow one way traffic.  Although... our trip down we shared the tunnel with the opposite direction traffic. I was very surpised!

Here is one of the other tunnels....   love the coming out of the tunnel.  This one is cool because you can see the exit and you approach the entrance...

Another blog about today's activities will ensue ... but it's time to eat and relax here in Flagstaff...
