Roaring Camp continues to make big noises, the pleasant sounds of three steam engines (the Dixiana, Sonora and Tuolomne) chugging up a steep hill on their one-hour and 15-minute narrow gauge tours of the redwoods. The standard gauge train rides to the beach and back takes 3 hours. Check Roaring Camp’s website for schedules and special events. Meanwhile, the Giant Dipper roars on as it has since 1924 and this year, I believe, the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk itself turns a forever young 100 years old. |
