Roaring Camp's Rain Forest Train Rides

Roaring Camp's Rain Forest Train Rides

New tours of California's rain forest are being offered on January, February and March weekends at Roaring Camp.

Georgiana Clark, the CEO of Roaring Camp, had this to say about her winter railway rides, "Few people realize that California has its own rain forest...our coastal redwoods. Winter is when California's rain forest is most dramatic. Storms whip branches; foliage glistens; and the air is filled with marvelously pungent aromas. Best of all, traveling through the forest by steam train puts you at branch level as the train huffs and puffs over trestles and up the mountainside."

The new Rain Forest Weekend excursions include added narration by naturalists as the trains travel through the Welch Grove of Big Trees (the first grove of virgin coastal redwoods protected from logging in 1867).

Plus, $2 from each ticket is being donated by Roaring Camp to the Sempervirens Fund, which preserves the Santa Cruz Mountain redwoods.

Details:

  • Wear warm layers under rain gear
  • Sit in one of the train's open air cars to experience the rain forest (covered cars are also available)
  • Rides run Saturdays, Sundays and holidays at 11:00am, 12:15pm, and 2:00pm
  • Rain Forest Weekends start January 11, 2003 and go through March 30, 2003
  • Tickets are $17 for adults, $12 for children
