The real name is Shoemaker Road, an offshoot of East Fork Road on the way to the East Fork trailhead. Normally it's a pretty boring hike, except for the tunnels, but the second time I visited, on a rainy day, it took on a whole new dimension. The road is about 2.5 miles each way, and dead ends shortly after the second tunnel. Construction began in the 1950s, but it was abandoned back in the 1960s due to cost overruns, rockslides and environmental concerns.
