All Aboard for the Great Pumpkin Express


The Skunk Train hosts numerous special events throughout the year, and this is one of them.
The view from the restored rail cars is pretty much unchanged: towering trees, deer drinking from the Noyo River, an isolated fishermans cabin peeking from the forest. With occasional whistles as it chugs through tunnels, over bridges and past open meadows, the train follows the coastal Redwood Route as it has since 1885.
Book your trip today. Call for reservations, 866-457-5865
Open Daily 9am-3pm
