About

Discover Northern California’s Redwoods by Railbike

Immerse yourself in the tranquility and beauty of Mendocino County’s legendary forests with this unique railbike adventure. The Skunk Train’s railbike experience is an innovative way to tour historic train tracks using an electric-powered pedal bike designed for two. Glide through the iconic redwoods and across scenic bridges, all while enjoying the flexibility and crisp forest air that only a railbike can provide.

Journey Through a Coastal Forest

Your adventure begins on the heritage Skunk Train railroad. Under the care of a certified guide, you and your railbike partner will travel from the coast deep into the heart of the forest. The ride takes you on a peaceful journey through Pudding Creek and over historic trestle bridges, giving you unobstructed views of both waterways and towering trees.

Connect with Nature on Two Wheels

This railbike tour is more than just a mode of transport—it’s an opportunity to fully experience the sights and sounds of the Northern California wilderness. As you gently pedal or coast on your electric-powered railbike, listen to birdsong and keep an eye out for local wildlife such as blue herons, ospreys, turtles and even deer or bears during berry season.

  • Travel at your own pace with minimal noise, blending into the peaceful setting

  • Feel the warmth of dappled sunlight through the canopy as you ride

  • Cross several bridges with rivers and streams flowing below

Rest at Glen Blair Junction

Halfway into your journey, the group pauses at Glen Blair Junction. Here you’ll find picnic tables and the option to embark on a gentle loop trail surrounded by ancient redwoods. Take this time to enjoy a snack, stretch your legs or explore the best photo spots in the forest.

Exclusive Access to the Model Railroad Barn

With your ticket, enjoy admission to the Model Railroad Barn. Dive into the detailed displays and model trains that showcase the history and legacy of railroad adventures in Northern California.
