The 1.1 mile Zion-Mount Carmel tunnel was completed in 1930 to provide a direct route from Zion to Bryce. We passed through it early in the morning as we set out for Bryce Canyon and waved goodbye to Zion National Park.

Location: Mount Carmel Hwy, Hurricane, Utah
Designation: National Park
Date designated/established: 1930
Date of my visit: April 12, 2017

This nice video by AdventureEveryDay showcases the experience of driving through the tunnel.
