Georgetown Loop Railroad & Mine Tour

The Georgetown Loop Railroad and Mine Tour lets you travel back in time with a ride on one of the state's best narrow gauge railroads. This is definitely an experience you won't forget.

In the past the railway tracks reached an elevation of 640 feet as they climbed over mountain terrain. They were constructed to connect Silver Plume and Georgetown, which are towns more than 2 miles apart. Now the Loop is a popular tourist destination and allows you to experience the Clear Creek Valley from a unique perspective.

Along the way you may stop for guided tours of an old silver mine as well. There's a park situated on 978 acres of land with a depot from 1884, the Morrison Interpretive Center, two 1860s mines, a mill building from 1871, four reconstructed mine buildings, a locomotive maintenance building, the Pohle House, and a new rolling stock shelter.

When to get to the town of Georgetown, you can enjoy a multitude of attractions. These include restaurants, shops, museums, and recreational opportunities. Fantastic shopping can be found on Sixth Street in the National Historic Landmark District.
