Skunk Train: Railbikes
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.
