A place like no other near Santa Cruz in California

Roaring Camp Railroads

Back in 1875, when the Roaring Camp Railroads first started operating, passengers were amazed by the magnificent redwoods. Even today, these awe-inspiring trees continue to captivate visitors. Roaring Camp, located in Felton, California, offers train rides that take people through the towering forests, reaching the summit of Bear Mountain or Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park. In addition to the train rides, visitors can explore the train depot’s surroundings, which feature a charming old-fashioned general store, open fields for games and activities, a stage for hosting special events, and much more.

Explorers who have recently embarked on train journeys may find the ticket prices to be a bit high, but they assure that the awe-inspiring sights of the majestic redwood trees make it all worthwhile. In fact, some enthusiastic individuals even described their experience as nothing short of “magical.” For those seeking additional recommendations, reviewers suggest planning a visit during one of Roaring Camp Railroads’ special events. These occasions include the delightful Thomas and Percy’s Halloween Party as well as the enchanting Holiday Tree Walk.
