You Can Now Enjoy The Redwood Forest On A Pedal Powered Rail Bike

 

Are you getting tired of being stuck inside right now? Well you can get out and enjoy a fun outdoor experience of riding along old railway tracks through the forest, now offered from a few great companies across the US.

 

One of companies offering this fun experience is Skunk Train. Skunk Train offers a great experience of rail-biking through the redwoods on a pedal powered bike made for 2 people. These fun bikes allow you to quietly bike through the forest with their low noise electric motors.

 

“Your group will wend its way along scenic Pudding Creek, cross over majestic wooden trestle bridges, and journey into the heart of the ancient redwoods of Mendocino County.” Skunk Train

A fun little 1.5hr activity. You can choose the level of pedaling difficulty, including no pedaling at all if you so choose (but where’s the fun in that?!). Skunk train was named after the passenger motor cars in the 20s which burned crude oil hence locals dubbing the name “skunk train” bc of the stench. You could smell it before you could see it. Today they’re electrically powered bikes to give you that little push at the start or over a little hump #skunktrain #fortbragg #california #travel #play #roadtrip #fun #explore #active
