The Tunnel Log, located along the Crescent Meadow Road in the Giant Forest, offers a fun photo op for park visitors. This enormous tree, which fell across the road in 1937, was 275 feet tall and 21 feet at the base when it collapsed. The tunnel was cut through the tree the following year and ever since, visitors have been drawn to the novelty of it. The park service believes the tree is at least 2,000 years old.

Recent travelers recommended going early in the day to avoid the crowds of people posing in front of, below and even on top of the Tunnel Log. Only vehicles shorter than eight feet tall can drive through the 17-foot-wide tunnel (larger vehicles can go around on a bypass lane). Access to the Tunnel Log is included in park admission.
