While looking for the Silence of the Lambs house, my husband and I had to travel through this tunnel connected to a bridge. That was almost as good as seeing the Silence of the Lambs house. It is a tunnel dug through a mountain followed by a trestle bridge (Of course, if you're coming from the opposite way, reverse that order). I took some photos of the tunnel (one while in the car). It is narrow and only allows one car (or truck) at a time.
