Description

from Noyo River Redwoods Scenic Railbike Excursion

Discover a new side of the Redwood Route aboard a custom-built, two-person electric Skunk Trail Rail Bike.

Motor-assisted and virtually silent, these custom-built, patent pending, two-person railbikes will take you breezing along the world-famous Redwood Route.

This Mendocino rail bike excursion will take you 25 miles far off the beaten path along the meandering Noyo River and deep into old-growth redwood groves, on a section of track now reserved exclusively for railbikes.

Begin your day at Skunk Train's Sherwood Road property with a scenic hike down through the redwoods to the Noyo River and the east end of Tunnel #1. You’ll get acquainted with your bikes and guides, and set off. Trips will be staggered by a few minutes so that you can enjoy the solitude of the route as you make your way 11 miles inland along the tranquil river.

You’ll pass South Fork, Ranch, Redwood Lodge, Grove, and other historic stops, crossing over 12 wooden trestle bridges that offer stunning views of the river below.

Pull into Camp Noyo and take an hour break, with a picnic and refreshments offered complimentary for your enjoyment. Take a swim in the river, relax, or stroll among the redwoods before setting off on your return.

Please Note: This is a strenuous and lengthy trip, requiring good mobility to descend and ascend 15 stories to the railbikes from Sherwood Road. For those looking for a shorter, less formidable trip, see Skunk Train's Pudding Creek excursion, departing from their Fort Bragg depot.
