Train Rides

Bring Colorado History to life as you enjoy riding aboard the magnificent Georgetown Loop Railroad® through the heart of Clear Creek. Breathtaking scenery of the rugged Rocky Mountains surrounds you the locomotive winds its way up the canyon.

On your trip, the train will pass the remains of gold and silver mines. 

Completed in 1884, the spectacular Georgetown Loop features a three-foot wide narrow gauge rail line that is considered to be an engineering marvel for its time. The design of the railroad allowed it to be built on steep, dangerous grades by devising a system of hairpin turns, bridges, and a curve. Soon, the wondrous railroad became Colorado’s first “must-see” visitor attraction. On your ride, you’ll not only see this old rail route from a late-1800s trail, you’ll also pass historic gold and silver mines. 

The Georgetown Loop Train offers open air cars in the summer months to allow for an unobstructed view of everything along the line, including stunning views of high-mountain landscapes. During the winter months, The Georgetown Loop Railroad features heated and enclosed cars for a comfortable ride through the changing leaves in the fall, or light snowfall and Holiday train rides. Departures are available from the Silver Plume Depot or Devil’s Gate Station in Georgetown throughout the season.
