I lead the group through this tunnel, and along the way there were cutouts where you could see the mountains and hills. Looking out while we were riding, I could see the snow turn to rain. (According to Steve) "In 1930, the newly completed Zion-Mt Carmel highway allowed motorists to travel through Zion to Bryce and points east. This highway was one of the greatest engineering feats of modern times, requiring the construction of a 5,613-foot tunnel to negotiate the vertical sandstone cliffs of Zion."
