The foot tunnel on Saddle Rock trail is sometimes confused as a natural cave. This tunnel was built in June of 1933 by a private contractor. The tunnel connects the newer portion of Saddle Rock trail to the older zig zag, or Boy Scouts trail. The tunnel was also used as a test for the road tunnels that you drive through on the Summit Road. The tunnel is located roughly one mile up the trail from the visitor center and provides much appreciated shade on hot days. The tunnel’s construction is sometimes falsely credited to the Civilian Conservation Corps, who were not at Scotts Bluff National Monument until years later.
