Get the royal treatment on the VIP Historic Wolf Tree Turn Train Ride, where luxury meets adventure on the rails. As a VIP, you're first in line with advanced boarding and get to indulge in premium perks like priority concessions, a delightful picnic lunch amidst the redwoods, and a special commemorative gift to take home. This isn't just a train ride; it's an elevated journey through Northern California's breathtaking scenery, all from the VIP seat of history.

Set out from Willits on a 2-hour expedition that climbs to the summit of the rail line at an elevation of 1,740 feet, then glides through the mystic Tunnel #2 before descending into the lush Noyo River Canyon. It's a trip that offers not just stunning views but also a deep dive into the natural wonders that have long defined Mendocino County. Pause at Crowley to stand in awe of the Wolf Tree, a living testament to the forest's ancient stories, before returning on a historic Diesel-Electric engine. This VIP experience promises more than just a scenic route; it's an unforgettable adventure peppered with exclusive treats and insights into the region's rich tapestry.
