Hear From Our Riders
★★★★★
It was a wonderful full day that featured the magnificent 2nd growth redwood trees throughout the valley. It started drizzly and misty, but that just added to an atmosphere of excitement and mystery, immersing us in the conditions that have allowed these magnificent giants to flourish for thousands of years.

★★★★★
Rail bikes on the Noyo River was the best experience. Riding thru the redwoods is a great trip. The whole ride was scenic. The trees and river provided a great trip.

★★★★★
We had a great day riding the rail bikes along the Noyo River. Our guides, Ashton and Bruce were friendly, made sure we knew how to operate the bike, and gave us a lot of space to feel like we were alone in the Redwoods. We even saw a black bear and a young buck - beautiful!
