The Roaring Camp Railroad, located in Felton, California, offers a nostalgic journey back in time aboard authentic 19th-century steam locomotives. This historic railroad winds through the stunning redwood forests of the Santa Cruz Mountains, providing visitors with breathtaking views and a deep connection to the area’s natural beauty. The train ride, which departs from the recreated 1880s-style Roaring Camp depot, includes a fascinating narration about the history of logging in the region and the preservation of these majestic redwoods.

The most popular route is the Redwood Forest Steam Train, a scenic 75-minute journey that climbs steep grades to the summit of Bear Mountain. Along the way, passengers experience towering trees, fresh forest air, and charming trestle bridges. It’s a perfect adventure for families, history buffs, and nature lovers alike, blending relaxation with the excitement of exploring one of California’s most iconic landscapes.
