Wildlife education with Nature’s Educators featuring birds and reptiles
Family friendly mix of history nature and interactive learning
Wildlife Education and Scenic Steam Rail Journey Highlight Colorado’s Georgetown Loop Experience
A combined heritage and nature program aboard the Georgetown Loop Railroad is offering visitors an immersive journey through the Rocky Mountains, pairing historic steam rail travel with hands-on wildlife education. The train route between Georgetown and Silver Plume winds through steep canyons and alpine terrain that has long been associated with Colorado’s mining and rail history.
The railway itself is recognized as a preserved example of 19th-century engineering, originally built to support mining operations in the region. Today, restored steam locomotives continue to operate along the loop, allowing passengers to experience the same dramatic mountain passage that once carried freight and travelers through the American West.
A key feature of the experience is its collaboration with Nature’s Educators, a nonprofit conservation organization focused on native wildlife education. Guests are introduced to Colorado’s birds and reptiles through guided interpretation, offering insights into their behavior, habitats, and ecological roles within the mountain environment.
Live demonstrations, including bird flight displays when conditions allow, provide an up-close perspective on local wildlife. Together with the scenic rail journey, the program blends environmental learning with historical storytelling, creating a family-friendly experience that connects visitors to both the natural and cultural heritage of the Colorado Rockies.
