The ambitious endeavor took place in 1883 when a mining company attempted to connect a rail line between Globe and Flagstaff. The project never fully panned out, however, since the company blew through their funds on two occasions before finishing the project. In fact, of the original 3,100 feet proposed for the tunnel only 100 feet was bored through the landscape before it was abandoned within a short time period.



The Tunnel Trail is 0.8 miles in total length and can be found near Happy Jack via Rim Road 300. You can find details about the hike on hikearizona.com or alltrails.com.
