The historic Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad is irresistible not just to rail buffs, but to families who want to give their kids something to remember. A variety of rides are offered, with dogs welcome on daytime but not dinner or moonlight excursions.
Choose a train pulled by a Shay locomotive built in in 1913 or 1928 for lumber operations in Tuolumne County, or opt for a “Model A”-powered ride behind a Jenny railcar. Either way, you can enjoy exhibits, picnic grounds and hiking in the area.
Leashed dogs not shy of loud noise are welcome to sit on your lap or by your side.
