Georgetown Loop Railroad and Lebanon Mine Tour Revives Colorado’s Mining Heritage
A historic mountain excursion in Colorado is offering visitors an immersive journey into the region’s silver mining past through a combination of rail travel and underground exploration. The experience begins aboard a restored steam-powered train operated along the scenic corridors of the Georgetown Loop Railroad, known for its dramatic canyon crossings and steep mountain grades.
Departing from the Devil’s Gate area, the train winds through rugged landscapes shaped by Colorado’s mining boom era, offering sweeping views of canyons, forested slopes, and remnants of historic mining towns. The journey recreates a section of the historic rail lines once used to transport ore between the Silver Plume and Georgetown mining districts.
At the midpoint, passengers disembark for a guided exploration of the Lebanon Silver Mine, where interpreters lead visitors through underground tunnels carved during the height of silver extraction. Inside the mine, natural mineral formations such as calcite deposits and preserved mining features provide insight into the geological and industrial history of the region.
After the underground visit, guests return to the steam train for the scenic journey back through the mountains. With structured safety guidelines, family-friendly access on the rail portion, and seasonal scheduling, the tour blends heritage storytelling with dramatic natural scenery, making it a popular experience for history enthusiasts and travelers exploring Colorado’s alpine landscapes.
