Chandelier Tree, Drive-through redwood tree in Leggett, California.
The Chandelier Tree reaches 276 feet in height and contains a tunnel carved through its base, allowing vehicles to pass directly through the trunk.
The tunnel was cut into the base of this ancient redwood during the late 1930s to create a tourist attraction along the Redwood Highway.
The tree represents an era of American roadside attractions when modifications to natural landmarks were made to accommodate automobile tourism.
Visitors can access the Drive-Thru Tree Park every day except Christmas and Thanksgiving, with entrance fees of $10 for pedestrians and $15 for vehicles.
The branches of this 2,400-year-old redwood begin 100 feet above ground and range from 4 to 7 feet in diameter, forming patterns similar to light fixtures.
