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.

We had an amazing time. My second time in 35 years, but my partners first time. Matthew the conductor was VERY professional and gave great accounts of the history dating back to 1911. Great fun for all! Thank you very much for a lasting memory❤️

We had a wonderful time. A great trip into the Redwoods. We took friends from the East Coast who can't hike. The stop in the woods was lovely. We would take others. They helped us with our Handicap Family member. Everyone had great attitudes.

This is the longer, if less picturesque Skunk Train route. I can’t honestly say that the scenery was spectacular but it was fun. Best experience is from the open air car. The history is interesting. If they are ever able to make the necessary repairs needed to cover the full route between Willits and Fort Bragg THAT would be spectacular. The stop at Crowley allows you to get off the train while they switch the engine to the other end of the train. I imagine train buffs would especially enjoy this.
