The Sutro Tunnel, is more than just a creepy, abandoned mine shaft. Constructed in the late 1800s, the tunnel was built for the sole purpose of draining water from the underground mines in the area. But let me tell you, this bad boy was a feat of engineering. It stretches for over three miles and is wide enough for miners and their equipment to travel through.
