Mary's Rock Tunnel


Built in 1932, the Bureau of Public Roads and the National Park Service bore and blasted through 610 feet of dense granite to produce this amazing tunnel. Located just south of the Thorton Gap entrance to Skyline Drive in the Shenandoah Mountains of Virginia, the maximum clearance for this, the lone tunnel along the 108 mile stretch of the park, is 13 feet.
