struction In world history — has been Carmel the building of the Zion-M- t highway of the United Few agencies outside States government could finance such an enterprise and still fewer would care to Certainly it was far beyond the reach of Kane county or Washington county to which It has greatest economic Importance The $2000000 cost of the road is about the assessed valuation of all of Kane county Mile Long Tunnel Opens New Areas “Cut through the face of a forbidding cliff” writes E T Scoyen superintendent of Zion and Bryce canyon national parks “a tunnel more than a mile In length opens up thj beautiful upper reaches of Zion national park over a scenic w lnding road leading to Bryce canyon by way of Mt Carmel From the entrance of Zion national park the road winds back and forth along the slopes of Pine Creek canyon climbing upward 800 feet In four miles to the portal of the tunnel through the high sandstone clilf “For 5600 feet the tunnel 22 feet wide and 16 feet high follows Just inside the face of the cliff on a 5 per cent grade (rising that Is 280 feet In the 5600) until at the opposite end it has climbed above the walls of the lower Pine Creek canyon Galleries Provide Views of Scenes “From there the road leads through sandstone ridges and across rocky plateaus to the eastern boundary of the park and then to the Grand south of Mt Canyon highway Carmel “At half a dozen points the tunnel approaches close enough to the face of the cliff for galleries to be cut In In making ‘ha‘deh veraI motorists to park their cars “Construction of the tunnel and route to Mt Carmel and Bryce canyon was started In 1927 after laborious surveys In an effort to find a shorter route between the Zion and ryw national parks By airline it was only 54 miles but by road It was 158 miles over a route barely passab'e at best and at times imThe new passable or dangerous route shortens the distance to 88 miles” f!
