Hiking

What a rich idea to have kept this tree and to be able to get through. Besides the fact that it is playful, it reinforces the primary character of this forest.

Hiking

What do you do when a giant sequoia tree falls across a hiking trail? You carve a tunnel through it, apparently. This is much like the famous "tunnel log," also in Sequoia National Park, carved out of a tree that fell across a roadway. But instead of being carved to allow a full-size vehicle through, this tunnel is just big enough for hikers.

Running

Tunnel Log is an impressive feature of Sequoia National Park. Instead of removed a fallen Sequoia, a tunnel has been cut through the tree. It is a great way to get a close up look at the size of these giant trees.
