Step back in time and experience the excitement of the Old West aboard the historic Georgetown Loop Railroad. Guests will board a beautifully maintained steam-powered train and enjoy a scenic journey through Colorado’s dramatic canyons and mountain peaks. Along the way, lively reenactors bring the Wild West to life with a thrilling train robbery, saloon Faro games, and immersive storytelling. Each booking receives a custom Wild West Days Faro Chip, making this adventure even more memorable. Upon reaching the second stop on the ride, visitors will meet their knowledgeable mine tour guide and venture into the Lebanon silver mine tunnel, exploring rich veins of silver and learning about the history of early mining in the area. After the mine tour, guests can pan for gold and take home the gold they discover, completing a truly interactive and hands-on experience.

The Georgetown Loop offers a unique blend of history, education, and entertainment, highlighting the important role of steam locomotives in Colorado’s development.

The adventure is designed for guests of all ages, though children must be accompanied by an adult, and infants ride on laps or in body carriers. Strollers and car seats are not permitted on the train, and children under a certain age are restricted from underground mining activities for safety. Guests are advised to arrive early to collect physical tickets, wear comfortable clothing and walking shoes, and prepare for an unforgettable journey into Colorado’s rugged past. From the dramatic landscapes to the interactive mine tour and entertaining Wild West performances, this experience offers a rich and exciting way to explore the heritage of the Rocky Mountains.
