About this business

Located in Northern California’s Mendocino County there is a skunk running through the redwood forest, but this isn’t any skunk, it’s the world famous Skunk Train. The California redwoods, pristine coastline, and award winning vineyards are all a part of the landscape of what makes Mendocino County such an amazing place and home to this 131-year-old train.

It is a relaxing ride, and fun for all ages. Even dogs are allowed, if you travel with yours. A veteran discount is offered. At the final destination in the redwoods is a very nice and large (covered) deck with comfortable seating. It is also a nice hiking spot. The ride is relatively short, we left at 11:30 and returned at 12:45. on some days two trains runs, so it is possible to go out on the first, and return on the second.

The rail bikes are cool, but it is RIDICULOUSLY overpriced for what we got…2.5 miles in, sit/hike for a bit and then back on the bikes. A little disheartening to see the train was a third of the price for basically the same thing. We only paid it cause we justified the cost because it was a new experience, but ultimately not worth it. Take the train, it’s cheaper and you can drink. You can’t on the bikes.

My mom came to visit from the Midwest and we didn't know what to expect with the Skunk Train, but it was off the rails! Totally fun experience combining the outstanding outdoors and the excitement of exercise! All of the staff was wonderful and I would do this trip again 100%.
