Tunnel #3 Elroy - Sparta Trail


Leading up the tunnel one comes to the tunnel watchman's quarters.  This person had to open the doors for the trains.





When they built tunnel #3 in 1873 they hit a spring.  There is water dripping down plus running along side the trail.  Here was a frog enjoying the clear, cool water.



Beautiful rocks on the east side entrance.


This tunnel took three years to build.

Checking out the tunnels is a definite must see if you are in the area.   And it is natural air conditioning on a hot summer day.
