For travelers who love scenic journeys, the Skunk Train: Days of Steam + San Francisco Bay Cruise package offers the best of California by land and water.
Your adventure begins in Fort Bragg, where the Chiggen steam locomotive departs for a 7-mile ride through the Pudding Creek Estuary and redwood forest. The authentic steam engine, dating to 1909, fills the air with nostalgic sights and sounds as it chugs along the rails. The trip lasts 1 hour and 15 minutes, including a stop at Glen Blair Junction to walk, photograph the redwoods, or simply relax in nature.
Then, head south to San Francisco for a Bay Cruise. Glide past Alcatraz Island, circle under the Golden Gate Bridge, and admire the city’s skyline from the water. Open-air decks and enclosed viewing areas ensure comfort in any weather, while onboard narration highlights San Francisco’s most famous landmarks.
Together, these two experiences highlight California’s diverse beauty: the rugged redwood forests of Mendocino and the iconic waterfront of San Francisco. It’s a trip that blends history, nature, and breathtaking views.
