20. Pioneer Cabin Tree

Driving through a gigantic sequoia tree definitely warrants taking the scenic route for. That’s arguably how the many visitors who had the opportunity to drive through the Pioneer Cabin Tree in Calaveras Big Trees State Park in California, felt before it met its tragic end.

A drivable tunnel was carved through the giant tree, also known as The Tunnel Tree, to draw visitors to its location. And it definitely worked, as the drive-thru tree attracted thousands just for the crazy cool experience. The tree that was said to be more than 1,000-year-old remained popular until it fell in a storm in 2017.
