    A Poodle sees the Redwoods for the first time!

    Roaring Camp Railroads exceeded expectations. The Old West buildings were very authentic, plenty of space to explore and interesting commentary for the ride to and from Bear Mountain. My little Fido a.k.a. Sergio, very much enjoyed his view of the Redwoods as this was his first vistit to California. At first I thought the 10 mph speed of the Steam Train was going to be too slow, however it was just perfect for taking in all the Redwood Forest had to offer. Highly recommend.

    Dog friendly train ride

    Dog friendly redwood forest! Lots of open space for your dog to play and a fun train ride to sit and enjoy the scenery. Dog leash required and muzzles are provided by staff if the camp feels it is needed.

    Great Day out in the Redwoods

    We visited Felton on a gorgeous day in July. Sitting in open train cars, you get enough of a breeze to keep you cool on a warm summer day. We decided to take the 1 hour round-trip through the redwoods. It was absolutely gorgeous. We did stop over at 'Bear Camp' to stretch our legs. We had a group of kids come over and play with the dog. There were plenty of sticks around for him to fetch. Make sure to grab some ice cream once you are back at the depot.
