Skunk Train: Wolf Tree Turn from Willits

Overview

This 2 hour round trip will take you from the Willits valley floor to the highest point on our rail line. During this trip you will pass through Tunnel #2 and descend into the redwood-thick Noyo River Canyon – an amazing ecological wonderland, and an excellent opportunity to discover the mighty giants that made Mendocino County famous.

The train will stop briefly at Crowley while you enjoy the splendor of one of the oldest and most iconic trees along our route. The Wolf Tree was so named for the large growth off of one side – woodsman called these wolf trees because they choke out smaller trees and underbrush. Passengers are able to get off the train during our stop at Crowley, to better enjoy the views.

You'll make the trip to Crowley on board one of our historic Diesel-Electric engines.

Nice, informative train experience . Concession stand is reasonably priced . The train ride, however, seemed a bit expensive for what you get. Ultimately no regrets-happy we did it!

We were disappointed with the Christmas skunk train because they do not let you out of the train to hike in the redwoods like they do on the other routes. This was not mentioned in the website. We have been on the other routes before and have enjoyed and recommend the train for the mere fact that you are allowed to get off and hike in the redwoods so we assumed we would be allowed off the train on the Christmas route. This should be clearly specified on the website. This experience was not worth the expensive price.

It’s just plain cute! Sugar cookie and hot chocolate were perfect! The ride through the redwoods was beautiful. We had no kids with us, so watching the children was fun, especially when the snow ball fight happened! 👍
