Fort Bragg California - Skunk Train - Glass Beach - Surf

I was looking for scenic train rides one day. For a great weekend getaway from San francisco. I wanted to drive for less than 4 hours so that I can come back the same day or the next day. After looking at various options (train rides) I have decided to take the Skunk Train of Fort Bragg CA.

We planned for a 2 day trip to reach Fort Bragg by evening and rest for the night. We had to take the train the next morning before 10:00am.

The Drive to Fort Bragg was amazing. It the road goes through the dark thick redwood forest before we reach the coast.

The train has a open top car where you can see the thick tall redwood trees. Some of the oldest trees can be found right next to the train. You have great camping grounds in the forest and some of the families have lifetime lease for some of the houses in the woods.

Usually there would be a musician on the train to entertain along with a guide who speaks about the town and the woods.
