Completed in 1873, the Blue Ridge Tunnel is an old railway tunnel carved right into the rock of the Blue Ridge. It is located near the convergence of Skyline Drive, the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Appalachian Trail, and U.S. Bicycle Route 76. At the time of its construction, it was the longest tunnel in the United States, clocking in at 0.8 miles (or 4,264 feet). When it was replaced with a more spacious and evenly elevated tunnel in the 1950s, the original tunnel was abandoned. It became something of a local trespasser’s dare. Renovated for hikers with accessible paths in 2020, it is now a destination for all visitors, from historians, train enthusiasts, and school groups to families with small children. Future plans for the tunnel include linkage between several existing trails.
