My girlfriend and I enjoyed the Rail Bikes. Our guide was Johnny and Ezira. Both of them were so attentive and kind to us. Safety was high on their list and also a great sense of humor. We just had the most enjoyable day on the Rail Bikes. And then for anyone reading this review/ make sure that you do the hike. Be sure to dress in layers and have some thing to keep your hands in your neck warm. The day was sunny but it was cool and I’m so pleased I had a hooded jacket…

What a romantic way to spend the day. The beautiful scenery along the way and the enchanting deck in the redwoods was delightful.

I am an Event Planner and I love looking for new and creative activities for my clients. This past week we took the rail bikes to Pudding Creek. What a fun activity and I will definitely be back. They outfitted us with everything, helmets too and we took a 30 minute ride up the tracks. We then were able to take a small hike and then headed back. Such a fun activity for family, clients and anyone that loves the outdoors. I will definitely be back and will go on the longer excursion next time. Thanks for all the hospitality.

I had a nice time in the train. On the first half of the ride I stood in the open car. It was nice to feel the breeze and see the beauty scenery. On the way back we sat down. It was cool that the seat backs could switch positions so we weren’t facing backwards on the ride back. We opened the windows and actually got more of a breeze than when we were standing in the open car. I enjoyed exploring the woods a bit when the train stopped.
