One of the best places to see California's towering redwood trees is just 80 miles south of San Francisco, at the Roaring Camp Railroads. There, the first forest of coastal redwoods (Sequoia Sepervirens), preserved in California in 1867, can be seen from two historic railroads.

In the 1880s, narrow-gauge steam locomotives were used to haul giant redwood logs out of the mountains. Roaring Camp's steam engines date from 1890 and are among the oldest and most authentically preserved narrow-gauge steam engines providing regularly scheduled passenger service in America.

Travel over trestles, through towering redwood groves and up a winding narrow-gauge grade to the summit of Bear Mountain as conductors narrate the history of Roaring Camp, the railroad and the forest!

Visiting Roaring Camp is like a trip back to an 1800's California logging town. You can shop in an old general store and see historic western structures, including an opera house, depot and covered bridge.
