About this adventure
Travel through the foothills of the Cascade Mountains in North Clark County aboard the Chelatchie Prairie Railroad's vintage Christmas trains. Departing from Yacolt, Washington, vintage diesel and steam locomotives haul families through forest tunnels and across scenic river bridges to a secluded forest landing. Families can choose and cut a fresh Douglas fir Christmas tree or enjoy a visit from Santa Claus who shares treats with young riders. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Vintage passenger cars require boarding steps; wagons and strollers can be stowed on board or checked at Yacolt Depot. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Heated historic depot with restrooms and hot cider counter. • Age Suitability: All ages. • Sensory Tips: Scenic mountain scenery with the smell of woodsmoke and fir trees.
