The Georgetown Loop Railroad, a narrow-gauge historic railroad, has been a beloved Colorado attraction since its inception. Stretching 4.5 miles (7 kilometers) between the towns of Georgetown and Silver Plume, it winds through the rugged Rocky Mountains. Passengers can experience the dramatic landscapes and steep grades that once challenged early rail engineers. Today, visitors can enjoy a scenic journey, taking in the natural beauty and learning about the region’s rich mining history.
