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.

The Skunk Train is always a blast. The conductor, Malakai, was a great host and was extremely informative, telling us so much about the local history of the area and of the redwoods. The train has a concession stand as well, with popcorn and drinks, including adult beverages. The 15 minute layover was just enough to watch the train move it's engine from one end to the other, and we were on our way! Looking forward to when we can take the train all the way to the coast and back again, but the short excursion was great fun, especially for our visiting family members that had never done it before.

Overpriced for what you get. Need at least an hour stop over to explore an enjoy the trails. Went from Fort Bragg to Pudding Creek.

Excellent experience. Our conductor, Malakai, was very personable and kept us well informed. Great scenery. We would suggest riding in the open car so as to have a much better viewing experience.
