Wawona Tunnel

The Wawona Tunnel is a highway tunnel in Yosemite National Park, which carries Wawona Road (which becomes California State Route 41 outside of the park) through a mountain on the south side of the Merced River. It is located on one of the three main roads providing access to Yosemite Valley, the most visited section of the park.
