My b/f & I did the Pudding Creek rail bike tour. It was such a fun experience! All of the staff was helpful, professional, & knowledgeable. The scenery was absolutely beautiful.

Friendly knowledgeable employees, PRICE WAS RESPONSIBLE, easy to access, scenic trip, several options which include: leaving station Trip out and back, days availability. Great narration along the trip going and coming back, available snacks and drinks for adults and kids, popcorn in a Skunk Train bucket, an overall fun experience for out of towners or Californians.

Nice easy trip. Relaxing to sit and chat and enjoy the view rain or shine. Nice hiking tails at the end.

I was a great family moment great view great employees. In my opinion ride time should be longer for what it cost specially for people like me. Drove 3-1/2 hours to the train. Thanks

We had a great time on the rail bikes! Remember to bring your lunch and beverages - there is a good break once you have entered deep to the woods. We will definitely do this again!
