Secret Valley Explorers
"RAIL BIKES"
Sitting in groups of 4 using the power of the peddle, traverse into the secret valley on one of our custom railbikes. Rail bikes are people-powered rail vehicles. The low coefficient of friction of our 150-year-old steel rails makes the bikes easy to pedal, welcoming persons of all ages. Our hand-crank motor assist bike is perfect for persons with disabilities. Our bikes seat up to four people, so bring family and friends for a memorable adventure.
Please note: The Deluxe Coach and Diplomat train cars unfortunately do not feature air conditioning, and may become rather warm during the summer months. While our other train cars are equipped with air conditioning, it’s important to consider that all our train cars are over 100 years old, resulting in a warmer environment than modern buildings with air conditioning. Thank you for your understanding, and please be advised if you have any adverse health conditions or are sensitive to heat.
