SPRING SPLENDOR EXCURSION

The Best way to see the Beauty of Spring!

Join us for a historic train ride and bear witness to the vibrant awakening of mother nature along the scenic Oregon Coast. This excursion departs from Rockaway Beach for a 45-minute trip to Wheeler and a 45 minute return trip, traveling along the shores of the Pacific Ocean before turning into the coastal forests as the route travels along the breathtaking Nehalem Bay and its estuaries. An onboard narrative will provide passengers with an immersive step back in time, complete with beautiful views and educational information all while traveling at a leisurely pace to your destination.

Upon arrival at Wheeler, passengers will have a 45-minute layover in the quaint town with views of the mighty Nehalem River and towering mountains. Shopping and food options are available in Wheeler during the layover (subject to the hours of the businesses in Wheeler).
