Mother's Day Train with Extended Mine Tour

Celebrate Mother’s Day with an extraordinary mountain adventure aboard the historic Georgetown Loop Railroad in Colorado. Begin your journey by boarding the steam-powered train at Devil’s Gate and enjoy a scenic ride through breathtaking canyons and majestic peaks. Mothers are honored with a rose during the ride, and guests in premium cars can enjoy two-for-one mimosas while taking in the stunning views. Each booking includes a custom Mother’s Day Faro Chip, providing a unique keepsake to remember this special occasion. The Georgetown Loop has been celebrated for over a century as a Colorado must-see, showcasing the region’s natural beauty and the history of steam locomotives that once transported passengers and cargo across the rugged terrain. Guidebooks, postcards, and pamphlets once spread images of these remarkable mountain routes across the nation, highlighting the scenic and cultural significance of the area.

The adventure continues with a stop at the historic Lebanon silver mine, where a knowledgeable guide will lead you deep into the mountain tunnel. Explore the access tunnel along the Hise Ore, discover naturally occurring silver formations, calcified boot prints, ancient stalactites, and other fascinating geological features. Guests will learn about the mining history of the region while experiencing the thrill of exploring a once-operational mine. All children must be accompanied by an adult, and infants may ride on a lap or in a body carrier, as strollers and car seats are not allowed on the train. While all ages are welcome on the train ride, children below a certain age are restricted from entering the mine for safety. Guests are advised to arrive early to collect physical tickets and follow safety instructions. From the steam train ride through stunning mountain scenery to the immersive mine tour, this Mother’s Day experience combines history, adventure, and family-friendly fun into one unforgettable celebration in the Colorado Rockies.
