Visit Vancouver Washington

Along the trip, capture views of the Lewis River atop our hill-side vantage point, and then return to Moulton Station. At our station stop, enjoy warm cider cocoa and hot coffee. Santa has a gift for each child; bring your camera to capture this moment in time.

This year, we are hosting a Ugly Sweater Contest. Dress in your most atrocious holiday attire. We, as a community, will judge the winner. Please keep the content appropriate for all ages.

Please dress for the weather, grab a nice warm coat, rain slicker, or bring a blanket. We will be running the train as open as possible for safety, but in return we won't be heating some of the cars we usually do. If you are brave and like the briskness of the NW, we have lots of outside seating.
