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.

I loved seeing the redwoods, so majestic and tall, but most of the trip was something other than redwoods. In essence a lot of forest, some homes, ectera. It was not until later that we realized that there was a service in which bicycles could be rented for the train tracks and at the end could get off and explore a little. Now I think we would of enjoyed that a lot more. NOT a lot of redwood seeing on the skunk train. I think small children would love it just for being on the train.

Very enjoyable ride. Friendly staff. A little snafu with the 4th of July parade but they held the train for all of us affected.

The Skunk is now offering a shorter ride to Wolf Tree from the Willits station. This shorter ride worked perfectly for me and I enjoyed it very much. I have ridden from the Fort Bragg station and look forward to the line being open from both stations. The ride took guests past Willits and into the trees. There were refreshments for sale and a talented (and funny) singer who kept guest entertained. My only suggestions would be to spruce up the train exteriors and provide additional seating for waiting guests.
