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 a little surprised by the cost, but overall very happy with the Skunk Train adventure. The music and history presented during the ride was great. The train was comfortable and food and drink were available.

Great way to take in the redwoods and experience an old train. The commentary and songs added to the trip. Friendly staff. Website indicated you could t bring your own food on board. But concessions were limited and it seemed it wasn’t an issue for those who brought food with them.

We received a gift certificate for Christmas in 2019 and we were finally able to use it in 2022! It is totally worth the wait and the drive out to Fort Bragg. The whole experience was pretty amazing but I have to say that my favorite was riding through the Redwoods in the open-air car. The whole trip is a little over an hour but what an hour! The vintage trains are beautiful inside and they offer food and beverages during the ride. They also offer adult beverages and have special cocktails for the day. All the employees are super helpful. We were travelling with my autistic son and they were super nice, accomadating and patient. There are accessibility ramps available for wheelchair access to the train. Don't forget to visit the model train museum after you are done and the great gift shop too! This was one stop on a long road trip and when we all recounted the trip we all picked the Skunk Train as our #1 experience. Would recommend 100%!
