Roaring Camp Railroads

Roaring Camp Railroads is a heritage railroad that transports visitors through the redwoods of the Santa Cruz Mountains on steam locomotives dating back to the 19th century. The site, established in the 1970s, features a replica of a mining camp and offers scenic train rides amid towering trees and lush landscapes. Plan to spend a few hours exploring the grounds and taking a train ride, particularly the thrilling journey to the summit of Bear Mountain. The best time to visit is during the fall when the foliage is vibrant, but weekends can be crowded. Nearby is Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park, perfect for further exploration.
