Father's Day Train with Extended Mine Tour

Celebrate Father’s Day with a memorable journey that blends history, adventure, and scenic beauty in the heart of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. This special experience invites families to treat Dad to a classic train ride filled with the charm of historic rail travel. Fathers are welcomed with a complimentary bottle of root beer, adding a nostalgic touch to the day, while every booking includes a commemorative Father’s Day Faro Chip as a lasting keepsake of the occasion. The train travels through breathtaking mountain landscapes where steep canyons, towering peaks, and forested slopes create a spectacular backdrop. Long celebrated as one of Colorado’s most iconic scenic railways, the Georgetown Loop has inspired travelers for generations through guidebooks, postcards, and stories that highlight the beauty of its dramatic mountain route.

Along the journey, guests also step into the fascinating world of mining history with a guided exploration inside Leavenworth Mountain. The tour leads visitors through a historic tunnel that once served the Lebanon silver mine, following a section of the famous Hise Ore route that connected the mining communities of Silver Plume and Georgetown. Guided by knowledgeable experts, visitors can observe remarkable natural formations within the tunnel, including shimmering silver pearls, preserved hobnail boot prints left by miners long ago, beautiful calcite formations, and stalactites that have formed over many decades. After the underground exploration, guests return to the train and continue the scenic ride back through the mountains. Travelers are encouraged to arrive early to collect physical tickets before boarding, and mine tour participants receive wristbands for access. Children must remain with an accompanying adult, and infants should be carried securely since large items such as strollers and car seats cannot be brought onto the train. Train operations and equipment may occasionally change, and any additional materials provided during the experience are available while supplies last.
