It will take you on a breathtaking journey through the Redwood Forest. It would be one of the best ways to spend your free time, right?<\/p>\n
Many people are appreciating the famous Redwoods as they can now ride an electric railbike while strolling the beautiful gift of nature.<\/p>\n
The two-person pedal-operated electrical railbike sits on the old Skunk Train tracks.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s an unbelievably easy ride.<\/p>\n
If you go to this beautiful sanctuary, you can ride your two-person railbike that will depart from the old Skunk Train Depot in Fort Bragg.<\/p>\n
Then, the one-hour round-trip will bring you through the beautiful Redwood Forest located along the Pudding Creek Estuary.<\/p>\n
As you pedal your way through the majestic forest, you\u2019ll realize how beautiful and well-preserved it is.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the very definition of \u2018enchanting\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Redwood forest is a dreamlike place, particularly on a rainy or misty day, it\u2019s like a scene from Jurassic Park,\u201d said Robert Jason Pinoli in his interview with Bored Panda.<\/p>\n
Pinoli is called the \u201cChief Skunk\u201d at Skunk Train.
\nHe also said that while pedaling through the forest, you can\u2019t help but think that there might be a brontosaurus just around your corner.<\/p>\n
Many people might ask, why would they call their staff \u201cChief Skunk\u201d, and their train station as Skunk Train?<\/p>\n
The Skunk Train has been around for many decades.<\/p>\n
It has been operating since 1885.
\nAnd can you believe that some of the trees that you\u2019ll see on this trail are over a thousand years old?<\/p>\n

Thanks to the efforts of the locals and other volunteers, they were able to preserve the beautiful forest that we get to enjoy today.<\/p>\n
Many who do not know the history of the Skunk Train are wondering about its name, but there\u2019s a reason behind it.<\/p>\n
It was nicknamed \u201cSkunk Train\u201d in 1925.<\/p>\n
These vehicles had gasoline-powered engines, and they also had pot-bellied stoves. Inside was burning crude oil that give warmth to the passengers.<\/p>\n
The combination of the emitted fumes resulted in a very foul odor that people disliked.<\/p>\n
Thus, people started calling it Skunk trains, comparing the smell to skunks.<\/p>\n
As you start your tour, you\u2019ll be amazed to know that this beautiful forest still exists. The fresh air and the abundance of trees are truly a relaxing experience.<\/p>\n
The rail bikes leave in small groups.
\nOnce you\u2019ve started your tour, you don\u2019t have to worry about anything since a guide will be leading the way.<\/p>\n
The railbikes are also owned and operated by the Skunk Train company, so you don\u2019t have to worry about any disruptions on your tour.<\/p>\n
Have kids or mobility challenges?
\nDon\u2019t worry because they have thought about that too. The railbikes are really easy to operate.<\/p>\n
Even if you have kids or people with mobility issues, you won\u2019t have to worry.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll get to hear lots of stories, see animals, and even have a small picnic.<\/p>\n
