Why you should go…

Roaring Camp Railroads is on Graham Hill Road in Felton, in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The 75-minute Redwood Forest Steam Train climbs over trestles and through redwood groves to the summit of Bear Mountain while conductors narrate the history of the railroad and the forest, behind steam engines dating from 1890. The Santa Cruz Beach Train, which runs through Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, is set to return in spring 2027. The grounds host seasonal events through the year, from Lumberjack Days to holiday lights trains.
