It was a wonderful way to experience Fort Bragg and the Skunk Train tracks. I actually like this better than taking the train!! I would recommend this trip to everyone. Even better for a little trip outside during COVID! Our guides were amazing and we learned about the redwoods and Fort Bragg. Thank you for the history lesson! An outstanding day was had!

Fun experience for the kids. Trains are far from few these days, so being able to enjoy Christmas magic with Santa this year with covid-19 on a train was a magical experience. Everyone was nice, goodie bags were creative, but unfortunately a lot of people took off masks inside the train and no one made them put back on. We kept our distance at the very end of the train which was actually the best. Own personal engineer/conductor on way back. Recommended

A fun family trip. A ride up to the Summit through a tunnel, snacks & drinks available, and a fun visit with Santa (Santa interacts with every family, couple or single!). Every party got a gift bag with Christmas treats and souvenirs. And everyone should visit the gift shop at the station.
