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.

VERY DISAPPOINTED, Website is deceiving, nowhere does it mention that the train tunnel is collapsed and that the train can't continue on the "experience" they advertise, way over priced for a quick 30 minute ride. Don't recommend wasting your money. We drove over 10 hours and paid good money for this disappointment.

The Rail-bikes through the Redwoods was so much fun. I am so glad there was a motor on the bike to use in case your legs got tired which they did on the return as it was uphill a bit. Jordan and Morgan were amazing and knowledgeable. (I think those were their names) we had a 45 minute stop where they told us about the Skunk Train/Rail bikes and how it all got started, future plans and enough time to eat our lunch we brought with us. We were all given a goodie bag with caramel popcorn and bottles water. Make sure to bring a coat. It is chilly in the shade which was most of the way. We brought gloves which saved us. It is a little pricey but a very fun and unique activity. Thank you. Will be back with my friends.

The pumpkin express from Willits was a total blast from start to finish. We had a group of 16 and the staff at Skunk Train went above and beyond to accommodate and make this a Halloween to remember forever.
