We had an awesome time on the trip to Pudding Creek. Absolutely loved the fact that we were able to take our fur baby on the trip with us. The staff made it a wonderful experience for us!!!

Best day ever! We rode the railbikes! It was my husband’s and I birthday and it couldn’t of been more perfect! Our guides Johnny and Brendon were amazing! They made it so fun and interactive! The weather was perfect! The hike during the stop was the cherry on top! We will definitely be back! Such a great experience!

Had a wonderful Birthday trip on the rail bikes. Relaxing and fun with electric boosters so no worry about athletic ability:) We were able to hike around at the collapsed tunnel site as well. Really great day out!

Did the rail bikes with Brandon and Johnny, both were very helpful and informative. These bikes are very easy to pedal with electric assist. The hike at the end of the line is a little steep so if your not in shape or have physical issues it’s best to stay at the rail stop picnic area and wait it out.
