The randomly-selected winner is Bruin, who recommends the Redwood Valley Railway in Berkeley, CA. Here’s why:

At Tilden Park in Berkeley, dogs on leash are allowed to ride the Redwood Valley Railroad for free! My Ruby loved it so much, we had to go twice. 🙂

I lived in the Bay Area for ten years, and had never heard of the Redwood Valley Railroad. Google to the rescue: It turns out to be a miniature railroad with steam locomotives, running on narrow-gauge track, located in Tilden Regional Park. Rides last about 12 minutes each, and Ruby is not alone in loving it — it delights kids and adults, according to the comments I found. The railway runs on weekends year-round; during the summer, it runs on weekdays too.

Bruin, please email me your mailing address, and I’ll send you your prize! My address is at the bottom of Dog Jaunt’s “About” page.
