About Tunnel Trail
The route begins at Main Overlook and follows sandstone cliffs that rise above the gorge. Along the way, openings lead into a narrow cave cut through the rock, and you can step a short way inside one of them. It makes a fitting add-on to a visit to Grandview, where the visitor center and theater are a short stroll away. Families with kids often pick it for its manageable length.
