Beautiful ride thru the redwoods. I road it many years ago before the tunnel collapsed and it was much longer. Hope you repair the tunnel soon.

My family from London, the Bay Area and Sacramento came for a visit last weekend and we absolutely LOVED the railbikes!!! Being immersed in the redwoods was simply the best experience ever. And we took our puppy and my niece’s dog in the crate car they have. The pavilion at the end of the line is fantastic! Perfect for all occasions from weddings to anniversaries to birthdays. Don’t miss this opportunity!

Beautiful scenery that I was able to enjoy and photograph to and from the Summit trip in Willets. They even picked me up at Mendocino Redwoods RV Park at a stop there! The conductor gave us great information about the history of the area an about some of the great redwoods we passed. And going through the tunnel was so cool!

Wonderful time traveling to the beautiful Glen Blair junction along Pudding Creek. The fresh popcorn was the best!

Can’t say enough about our Skunk Train Rail Bike experience. We were greeted by our guide as soon as we parked and the steep trail down to the bikes was very well made and maintained. The bikes were incredibly fun and easy to ride, our picnic was delicious, amazing views throughout the trip, overall an absolutely wonderful adventure! Highly recommend.

Such a beautiful and pleasant experience! We took the skunk train for my hubby’s birthday, and we thoroughly enjoyed it! The weather was fantastic, and the staff was friendly. We took two skunk trains, actually. We rode the one in Fort Bragg and in willits. Absolutely recommend this joyful experience to everyone !!
