Sit back, breathe deep, and prepare for an unparalleled journey through the majestic landscapes of California. Rail Bike Tours offer an innovative and serene way to explore the world-renowned Redwood Route. Powered by electricity and designed for quiet operation, our patented two-person Railbikes provide an intimate and eco-friendly adventure. Imagine gliding effortlessly along the historic tracks, venturing deep into the ancient redwood forests of Mendocino County, all while enjoying the fresh air and stunning scenery.
Your group will gently wind its way beside the picturesque Pudding Creek, traversing impressive wooden trestle bridges that offer breathtaking views. As you pedal along the historic Skunk railroad tracks, sunlight filtering through the towering redwoods and a gentle breeze caressing your face, you’ll discover a unique sense of freedom. Unlike traditional cycling, rail bikes require no steering, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the beauty of this untouched natural paradise. Keep your eyes peeled for the diverse wildlife that calls this area home – you might spot blue herons gracefully wading in the creek, ospreys soaring overhead, turtles basking in the sun, playful river otters darting in the water, or deer peacefully grazing amongst the foliage. During berry season, you might even be fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of a bear.
The adventure includes a stop at Glen Blair Junction, where you’ll have a relaxing 50-minute layover. This is the perfect opportunity to enjoy a delightful picnic amidst the redwoods or explore further on foot. Embark on our loop trail, which caters to both casual and intermediate hikers, and walk among giant redwood trees, discover vibrant wild iris and trillium in bloom, and cross over the iconic arched stone bridge. After your rejuvenating break, you’ll cycle back to the depot at Fort Bragg, filled with cherished photos and unforgettable memories of your rail bike tour.
Our Pudding Creek Railbikes package includes the fare for two people on a comfortable side-by-side Railbike, accompanied by a certified guide. This guided tour takes you along the historic Skunk railroad from the coast to Glen Blair Junction, including the enjoyable stopover.
