Moffat Tunnel West Portal

The Moffat Tunnel is a remarkable 6.2-mile underground passageway that traverses James Peak and the Continental Divide, playing a crucial role in the development of the Winter Park area for homesteaders, visitors, and commerce. Completed in 1928, this engineering marvel serves both as a railroad passage and a water conduit, transporting water from the Pacific watershed to Colorado's Front Range while facilitating direct routes for coal and freight trains.
