Skunk Train

Experience the Magic of the Skunk Train!

Since 1885, the world-famous Skunk Train has carried passengers through towering redwoods, across scenic trestles, and into historic tunnels, offering breathtaking views of Mendocino County’s untouched landscapes. Today, guests can choose from a variety of one-of-a-kind adventures departing from Fort Bragg and Willits.

Fort Bragg Departures:
Climb aboard the Pudding Creek Express for a picturesque ride through the redwoods, or enjoy a forest hideaway stop at Glen Blair Bar, where you can sip drinks surrounded by nature. For a more hands-on experience, hop on the Pudding Creek or Noyo Railbikes, where electric-assist makes for a fun and active outing along historic tracks. After dark, the Moonlight Railbikes offer a magical, starlit ride to the bar.

Seasonal offerings include Days of Steam, where you can ride behind a historic steam locomotive, and the Mushroom, Wine & Whiskey Train, which combines local foraging with curated tastings of fine wines and spirits.

Willits Departures:
The Wolf Tree Turn winds deep into the redwoods and through the iconic Tunnel #2, showcasing stunning natural vistas. In the fall, families can board the Pumpkin Express for a festive journey to a hidden pumpkin patch. Spring brings the Easter Express, featuring egg hunts, sweet treats, and a visit from the Easter Bunny. And when the holidays arrive, Mr. Skunk & the Giant Christmas Tree transforms the ride into a cheerful winter wonderland, complete with festive entertainment, treats, and a visit frm Mr. Skunk himself.

From scenic rail journeys to immersive seasonal experiences, the Skunk Train brings the wonder of the redwoods to life, one unforgettable ride at a time.
