Skunk Train: Pudding Creek Express

Skunk Train: Railbikes

Fort Bragg

The tracks the Skunk Train rides are filled with history. As you're breathing in fresh forest air, cast your mind back to 1885 when the Fort Bragg Railroad was created to help transport lumber. Times have changed, but the magic of the redwoods remains, and you're able to indulge in a historical train journey which introduces you to the majestic beauty of Northern California.

During this seven-mile-long ride – lasting roughly 90 minutes – you'll journey into ancient redwood forests. The train stops at the tranquil setting of Glen Blair Junction. There's a 15-minute stop here, but you're welcome to stay and catch the next train back (roughly two hours later) as you relax and take in the views.

This fun railbike experience is a modern twist on riding the rails. Explore Northern California's redwood forest in silence as your electric-powered railbike breezes you along through an ancient woodland that's got an air of magic about it.

The two-person pedal bike will take you through scenic Pudding Creek, passing over trestle bridges, and into the heart of Mendocino County's incredible nature trails. A light breeze, dappled sunlight piercing through the canopy, and the chance to see blue herons, osprey, and maybe even turtles, deer, and bears in berry season – there's no better way to combine the past and present of rail sightseeing.
