Travel over trestles, through towering redwood groves and up a winding narrow-gauge grade to the summit of Bear Mountain as conductors narrate the history of Roaring Camp, the railroad and the forest. In the 1880s, narrow-gauge steam locomotives were used to haul giant redwood logs out of the mountains. Roaring Camp’s steam engines date from 1890 and are among the oldest and most authentically preserved narrow-gauge steam engines providing regularly scheduled passenger service in America.
We’ll meet in Scotts Valley at Bruno’s Bar and Grill at noon. After lunch, we’ll head to Roaring camp and board the 1:30 pm train. The train tour will last approximately one hour and 15 minutes. Roaring camp has several exhibits relevant to the Santa Cruz Mountains, logging and railroads that can be viewed before or after the train ride.
Cost: $45 per person for the train ride (paid when signing up), and $10 per car parking charge (paid at Roaring Camp).
No Refund after June 8
