Toward the south portal

Toward the south portal

The main Cheyenne Mountain entrance is in the center of the facility. But there are also two lesser-known portals, one to the north, and another to the south. Among other things, the south portal is where fuel is brought in so that gravity will push it downhill into the main part of the complex more efficiently than having it pumped up from the north portal.

This tunnel heads toward the southern portal.
