Pedal through redwoods to Glen Blair Bar after sunset
4 hours
2 people
Electric assist, LED lights
Designed for riders of all skill levels, this evening outing combines active travel with time to relax among the redwoods. Optional electric assist helps make the return trip more leisurely.
Join us at the Railbike Barn before sunset for an evening expedition unlike any other. You will meet your guides and mount up on our Railbikes that are specially equipped with an electric assist and LED lights to illuminate this magical experience. After a quick tutelage on how to use the electric assist, the group will leave the Railbike Station, meandering by the Pudding Creek Estuary and into the redwood forest towards Glen Blair Bar.
Glen Blair Bar will be in full swing. Sit and roast marshmallows by the fire, take a romantic stroll through the forest, or play a competitive game of cornhole.
Bikes will depart at 20 second intervals to ride back to the station. The moonlight as well as the LEDs will guide you home.
Reservations are non-refundable. With at least 72 hours' notice, you can rebook. Full refund if the operator cancels due to dangerous conditions.

The staff here really makes the experience special. Multiple reviewers rave about Malakai, the singing conductor, who pulls out multiple instruments and takes song requests while entertaining passengers throughout the journey. The crew is consistently described as friendly, funny, and courteous, creating a welcoming atmosphere that guests appreciate. There are different route options departing from different locations, and some packages include meals or access to upgraded cars like the Presidential option with drinks and snacks. Most visitors genuinely enjoy the scenic ride through the redwoods, particularly recommending the open-air car for the full experience. The main criticism centers on expectations: some guests anticipated a longer journey and found the shorter routes (around 30 minutes each way) didn't match what they'd imagined, especially given the ticket price. The midpoint stops offer activities like pumpkin picking, cornhole, and walking trails, though dwell time can feel rushed. Bring bug spray if you're sensitive to mosquitos during stops. If you're looking for a relaxing, family-friendly train experience with solid entertainment and beautiful scenery, this delivers, just confirm your route details beforehand.
Very fun, beautiful views, lively staff. Highly recommend!
