30. Entrance to the Whittier Tunnel

A driver's view of the tunnel entrance. Pay attention to the signs. Speed limit is 25 MPH. In our experience traffic usually settles in at a speed of 25-30. The tunnel authority suggests keeping 25 feet between each car; passing is impossible. The tunnel is 2.5 miles long and will take around 6.5 minutes to get through. Once on the other side, to get to Whittier, head straight (so, do not take a left toward the tank farm), winding around next to the right (south) shore.
