There’s a secret and spooky-looking tunnel on the side of a mountain in Alberta’s Kananaskis, and it was first designed as a vault to store secret documents 🏔️
Now abandoned, “The Vault,” also known as the Heart Creek Bunker, is a large tunnel with a couple of small chambers that are about 80 by 25 feet in size
The tunnel was once rumoured to be a bunker that would house Canadian government officials in the case of a nuclear event during the Cold War, a post by Atlas Obscura says.
As it turned out, the tunnel wasn’t a bunker but a project by Rocky Mountain Vaults and Archives with the intention of securely storing documents. The company received licenses to construct the vault in 1969, though it reportedly began tunnelling before 1966.
