This holiday season, hop on board an unforgettable train ride that winds through the redwoods as you listen to Christmas stories, sip hot cocoa and munch on cookies, and even visit with Jolly Old St. Nick himself. The historic Skunk Train leaves from Fort Bragg and Willits and heads on a round trip to the North Pole.
Ride the train in your pajamas just like the kids into the beloved Christmas classic, the Polar Express.
