Skunk Train: Wolf Tree Turn from Willits + California Academy of Sciences


The Skunk Train + California Academy of Sciences package delivers both natural and scientific discovery in one trip.

Start with the Skunk Train’s Wolf Tree Turn from Willits, a two-hour rail journey through redwood forests along the Noyo River. Travel through Tunnel #2, built in 1911, and stop at Crowley to stretch your legs and view the iconic Wolf Tree. Onboard narration enriches the experience, while comfortable seating, restrooms, and an onboard bar ensure a smooth ride.
