Skunk Train: Pudding Creek Express from Fort Bragg

Skunk Train: Pudding Creek Express from Fort Bragg

Overview

This relaxed and scenic 7-mile roundtrip journey departs the Depot in downtown Fort Bragg year-round, traveling along the beautiful Pudding Creek Estuary and passing into primeval ancient redwoods to the tranquil setting of Glen Blair Junction.

Trains will stop at Glen Blair Junction for 15 minutes, allowing you to get off and stretch your legs and explore. Or, if you’d like to spend more time walking our trails amongst the redwoods, you can remain and catch the next train (roughly two hours later). Plenty of time to explore. Feel free to bring a packed lunch (no alcohol, please) to enjoy at one of our picnic tables.

These were some of the first tracks ever laid down by the California Western Railroad in 1885, and we've been carrying passengers on them ever since.

A fun trip! "Johnny" provided the music at Glen Blair and he is great. Well organized - the only line was upon arrival when everyone was getting their beverages. After that it was smooth sailing! Staff are great - they seem to be having as much fun as everyone else - which is a great vibe.

We took the Friday night Fort Bragg trip to the Glen Blair bar which was really fun!! You have a designated time going there, but then have choices about which train to ride back. On the ride there, food and drinks are offered and the views are lovely. The bar is in a very cool huge open-air structure in a beautiful redwood grove. There are fire pits, and heaters, along with chairs, picnic tables and large scale Jenga, Connect 4 and Cornhole games. The atmosphere is very laid back and friendly. On Saturday we took the 3.5 mile hike, mostly along the tracks, to the same bar, then rode the train back. We had a very informative guide who knew a lot about the area's history, logging industry, plants and animals. A yummy packed lunch is included, in a souvenir cooler bag. All the Skunk Train employees were very polite and friendly; there were kids and dogs on both our trips and I would recommend everyone take a ride!! I would like to now take a Willits trip, because they seem longer, and the terrain there is different.
