Just the right length of excursion through the Redwoods out of Fort Bragg. We have ridden many times. Just rode on the new Presidential Class car and the service was great! The train crew is very friendly. Consider the track bikes!!

Had a great morning doing the Skunk trip from Willets. Brought back lots of memories of train trips when we were kids. Thumbs up! Popped in to Kemmys Pies when we were done. Best darn pies ever! Drove back to Fort Bragg in the afternoon and did a run on the Rail Bikes. That was awesome too! Great day all round 👍

We rode the rail bikes & went on the guided nature walk. Our guide Sochie (I hope I got that right) was excellent. She had a deep appreciation for the area & shared her expertise of the plant life along with so much wisdom about our surroundings. We really enjoyed it. The bikes were easy to drive and the surroundings were beautiful.
