Tunnel Log is another popular attraction in Sequoia National Park. It was once a tree until it fell across Crescent Meadow Road in 1937. It was 21 feet in diameter at its base and 275 feet high prior to its collapse. The big tunnel was cut through it back in the summer of 1938.
Mount Whitney’s west slope is situated in Sequoia National Park. (The mountain’s summit is actually in the southern terminus of the popular John Muir Trail.) It’s the tallest mountain in the contiguous US. The mountain is 14,505 feet high. You can reach it by the Whitney Portal Trailhead which is 13 miles east of the little town of Lone Pine.
