RecommendedIt's everything advertised, I a few short minutes on the train your face to face with the redwoods and nature, the staff is very friendly
Can still enjoy even in rain!
This was our second ride on the Skunk Train, first one was 6 years ago prior to the rock slide at Tunnel 1 (ride was 21 miles to Northspur). Such beauty, and such fun! Rode in the open car both ways, different views, equally majestic. Highly recommended this historical journey.
It’s a fun and relaxing way to see some beautiful areas of Mendocino County
It was an enjoyable ride. Conductor was very informative about historical events. Staff was friendly and the open car was nice. I did not like the fact that dogs were allowed on the train ride. There were 5 large dogs on our train, not all got along!
It's an amazing ride through the forest. Part of this great nation history. Very clean, great guide, refreshments, dog friendly.
So much fun! A nice alternative to a hike. We had a fantastic time.
Had a fun trip. Wish it was longer. Shrunk beer was good
My husband and I loved the railbikes, we had a wonderful experience! Our guide was insightful and hilarious 😆 We cannot wait for the tunnel to reopen again for an extended adventure!! They mention some of these in the confirmation email but I'd thought I'd reiterate: Dress in layers as it does get cooler, althetic attire is recommended as there is a hike after the first leg of the adventure, bring water bottles, snacks, and have fun :)
