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 were camping on the coast and decided to drive to Willits to catch The Skunk Train. The train ride was fun. The conductor gave us some history stories about the train and area. The train goes through the redwood forest and stops at a whistle stop at Crowley for a short look around. Beautiful scenery. I only gave three stars because the price is kinda high for the trip ($50) and the conductor should have had some more stories to tell.

Fun and picturesque ride! Worth 3 hrs drive. My kid had all the fun (me too:). I wish the final stop at Crowley was a bit longer to enjoy the forest. Barely had time to finish my sandwich ))))

My favorite part of this experience was seeing my two great nieces 10 and 14, enjoy the train ride while learning about the history. The attendants were so kind, loved the snacks and drinks too. We’re returning with family and friends. Thank you!👏🏼👏🏼♥️
