Excellent experience. The hike at the end is well worth it. Makesure you go counterclockwise! Amazing view of the train at the top.

Although a very abbreviated ride, it was just perfect for my 6 year old grandson!

A ride on the Skunk Train, is a magical portal into the past. The old coach cars embrace you with welcoming endurance; a testament to things that were built to last. The crew is happily there to help, as well as to make sure everyone is behaving safely. The surrounding landscapes are breath-taking, and the experience as a whole -- will last one a lifetime. Kids love it, and the adults become kids. We are planning another trip during the rains of Spring! Can't wait. Sincerely, MARKUS & CECELIA

It was a great and wonderful time. Our teenagers' kids enjoyed the 2 hours trips as well! A Skunk train is a great experience for sure! I will recommend it to family and friends. Employees are helping a lot to make sure all of us have a great time. Thanks!

We took the Skunk from Willits for the first time in about 30 years. The trip is much shorter now -- only to Crowley -- but it was a good length for the little kids we had with us. The Train Singer, Greg Schindel, was delightful -- a great singer and instrumentalist, and a cheery, welcoming presence on the ride. All 9 of us enjoyed it tremendously. It's pricey, all right, but a great entertainment.
