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.

An educational and scenic excursion. We were referred by the Huell Howser episode. There were snacks such as popcorn, soft drinks, water and bloody Mary's!

2-hour ride (Willits to Crowley and back). Relaxing and nice train ride through the woods. Not too much to see but I enjoyed it.

We loved being out there on the tracks, seeing the redwoods close up, and having a chance to walk around a bit. Our grandson loved it, and it was a joy to see his excitement. We are interested in the history of the area and the logging industry in the past. We are sad that so many magnificent trees were cut, but we are also glad to see the remaining groves protected. It is great to experience the old train and tracks, and we are glad that they have been preserved! It was a peaceful way to spend our time.
