Fantastic ride, great experience! All of the staff was so friendly!! Live music and concessions on board made it even better. Very dog friendly!

This ride is a must. Even the toddler need to have ticket but it’s ok for the maintenance & the service that they continue to provide still. In house toilet, snacks( paid beer, popcorn & other snacks), pet friendly & staff is so humble. You can go back and enjoy the nature in open or sit inside the cabin so you have two options to enjoy. They stop at crowley and kids can enjoy and even you can eat your packed snacks or just enjoy the nature.

If you have never visited this area of California I highly recommend this train ride. The conductor gives you a bit of history on route. The 20 min stopover in Crowley is perfect for a few pictures.

Bought tickets in 2000, lost them for 22 years (& moved twice). Liz at the Skunk Train office honored our tickets and we enjoyed our amazing train ride! Malachi was a wonderful conductor/narrator for our journey through the majestic redwoods! Hope to go again when the steam engine is back in service and the ride can go all the way to Fort Bragg!

Don't think tunnel is open for full trip.

Can I depart Willits Saturday and return Sunday. How much?

Edward Poston | Sep 7, 2020
Bram Warrick | Sep 7, 2020

No. It does a modest round trip from Willits in a couple hours. Only goes a few miles. It no longer connects between Willits and Fort Bragg. A tunnel collapsed.

How far is it from Mc Donald's to the depot? Also how much is it for one way

Marie SHEPHERD | Sep 8, 2018

It's about 2 miles or so. Costs $75 round trip which is all you can buy since the train stops halfway up to the coast and then turns around

I believe the trip is out to Crowley and back to Willits.

Can I put a bicycle on the train with me going either direction?

P Rogers | Sep 7, 2021
Krystal Souza | Sep 7, 2021

I love trains, so I enjoyed it, unfortunately at this time you can only go part way from Willits, because they are still working on tunnel #2.
