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.

This was a lovely way to spend a couple hours. The information from the conductor was excellent, the people who worked the train were incredibly nice. We spent time inside and then the trip back we stayed on the outside platform and it was wonderful. Highly recommend!

Friendly staff; knowledgeable and professional conductor/tour guide. This was a different way to experience the Redwoods and learn some Northern California history. The guide was a bit hard to hear on the PA in the outdoor car, but he was gracious to answer all my questions in person. Too bad the open car was farthest from the locomotive on the outbound when the guide gave all his info.

This is a pleasant outing. We took the Willitz train (not Ft. Bragg). Don't expect any huge trees like you might see at the coast. But you do see some. You go through a forest and end up at a site in the woods to stretch your legs. There are seated cars, but you can go to an open air car and stand up to watch the world go by. Very nice on a sunny but not-too-hot day. We brought our dogs. It's bit pricey. The staff are very nice and there is one live narrator who gives some insights. Total tour time from Willitz is 2 hours. Easy parking across the street.
