verso TL (printed): THE MOUNT CARMEL HIGHWAY was built \ at a cost of over $2,000,000.00. By tunneling \ through the mountain 88 miles of travel were saved \ between Bryce and Zion National Parks. The tunnel \ is over a mile long, 22 feet wide and 16 feet \ high just inside the face of the cliff. At a few \ points the tunnel approaches close enough to the \ surface of the cliff for galleries to be cut through \ affording gorgeous views of the east and west \ canyon wall.
