Question: After a giant sequoia fell across a road in Sequoia National Park in 1937, crews carved a hole through its trunk instead of removing it. What popular drive-through attraction did they create?

Answer: The Tunnel Log. When a giant sequoia fell across Crescent Meadow Road in 1937, Civilian Conservation Corps workers tunneled through the fallen trunk rather than remove it, creating the only tree you can drive through in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. Cars can still drive through it today.
