GALLERY ON MOUNT CARMEL HIGHWAY, ZION NATIONAL PARK
Additional Details:
| The Mount Carmel Highway was built at a cost of over $2,000,000.00. The tunnel is over a mile long, 22 feet wide and 16 feet high; cut through the mountain just inside the face of the cliff. At a few points the tunnel approaches close enough to the surface of the cliff for galleries to be cut through, affording gorgeous views of the east and west canyon walls. The using of this highway saves 88 miles of travel between Zion and Bryce National Parks. |
