Tunnel Tree - Tuolomne Grove Yosemite National Park.
The tunnel was carved through this dead Sequoia tree around 1870. It stands like a giant castle door at the base of the Tuolomne Grove. The tunnel is large enough to drive a stage coach through.
Visitors have been carving their names inside the tunnel for nearly 150 years. This signature dates back to 1905.
