Through Tunnels at Zion on February 11

Entrance to the short tunnel

For our 29th wedding anniversary on February 11th, we decided to have a weekend of southern Utah adventures. This is the last of three posts from that trip.

We took the long way home by driving through Zion National Park's east entrance. There are two tunnels on that road. The first is short. The second is quite long and a little disconcerting if you think about the weight of rock above. After you pass through the long tunnel, it's a steep winding road down to the bottom of the park. This drive is awe inspiring.

The pictures below show holes in the mountain which are windows or cut out areas in the long tunnel.

Zion National Park is a beautiful place.
