Bring the family
and pick a route on either the Santa Cruz Beach Train or the Redwoods Steam
Train
Santa Cruz Beach Train
From trees to
shining seas – ride roundtrip from Felton to Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.
Departing from the Santa Cruz mountains, travel through Henry Cowell Redwoods
State Park, down the scenic San Lorenzo River Gorge, across a 1909 steel
truss bridge and through an 1875 tunnel before arriving at the Santa Cruz Beach
Boardwalk.
The Santa Cruz Big
Trees & Pacific Railway operates passenger and freight services on one of
the oldest and most historic lines in California. When the route opened in 1875
it carried lumber as well as picnickers and tourists to the Big Trees and Santa
Cruz. Today's Beach Train passengers can start their roundtrip journeys from
either Roaring Camp in Felton or from the beach in Santa Cruz.
Redwood Forest Steam Train
Ride into the past on
19th century steam train. 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. (One hour roundtrip).
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.
