The Fort Bragg and Southeastern Railroad, also known as the Skunk Train, offers scenic excursions through the redwood forests of Mendocino County. Passengers board vintage locomotives that travel along a historic logging route, passing through tunnels and over trestles with views of the Noyo River. The ride provides a relaxed way to experience the region's majestic redwoods, with open-air cars for fresh air and photo opportunities. The railroad has been operating since 1885, preserving a piece of California's logging heritage.
