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.

A beautiful 16-mile ride into the redwoods on the Skunk Train from Willits to the Wolf Tree at the Crowley stopping point. We rode mostly in the outdoor car which is standing only, no seating. You pass through Tunnel #2 on this trip & make a short stop at Crowley before re-boarding to head back to Willits. It was a delightful trip & easy to maintain social distancing due to COVID (the skunk stickers also helped).

We enjoyed the commentator and the history of the train. The refreshment lady was excellent! For the price for 2 adults, there should have been a free drink or popcorn. The train is in desperate need of a refresh, paint, seats are broken down. Scenery was good.

I loved the steep ascent climbing the hills West of Willits .Malachi (?) was a great tour guide, very personable and knowledgeable. I enjoyed hearing about the history of Crowley from him. The scenery and the trees were awesome. My 3 year old Granddaughter, Jamie went on her first train trip and had a ball! Will, my Son loved the experience also.
