Opening Weekend Train

Step aboard the historic Georgetown Loop Railroad and experience the breathtaking beauty of Colorado’s mountains and canyons on a scenic train journey. This iconic railroad has captured the imagination of travelers for generations, with steam-powered locomotives that once transported passengers and cargo throughout the region. Today, carefully preserved and operated in Georgetown and Silver Plume, these locomotives offer an immersive glimpse into Colorado’s rich mining and transportation history. As you ride along the steep canyons and dramatic mountain peaks, you will see landscapes that have been celebrated in guidebooks, postcards, and photographs across the nation. The open-air coach cars allow for unobstructed views of the surrounding scenery, creating a truly memorable experience that combines natural beauty, history, and the charm of a bygone era.

Guests are asked to arrive early to collect physical tickets from will-call, as boarding is only permitted with tickets in hand. While the journey is suitable for all ages, young children must be accompanied by an adult, and infants must remain on a lap or in a body carrier, as strollers and car seats are not allowed on the train. Visitors are encouraged to dress appropriately for changing weather conditions, as the open-air cars are exposed to the elements, and to stay hydrated due to the high elevation. While every effort is made to adhere to the published schedule, locomotives and passenger cars are subject to change, and delays or cancellations may occur. The Georgetown Loop Railroad offers a unique opportunity to experience Colorado’s majestic scenery, steep canyon walls, and historic mining towns in comfort and style, making it a perfect excursion for families, history enthusiasts, and anyone seeking to enjoy the timeless charm of a steam train adventure through one of the most scenic regions in the state.
