The Georgetown Loop Railroad – a True Colorado Gem
Climb aboard and travel back in time to discover the rugged romance of the Colorado Rockies in the 1880s.
Completed in 1884, this spectacular stretch of three-foot narrow gauge railroad was considered an engineering marvel for its time. The Georgetown Loop Railroad® was one of Colorado’s first visitor attractions with seven trains a day running out of Denver at the height of its popularity, the Georgetown Loop became Colorado’s scenic “must-see.” Guidebooks, pamphlets, and postcards help send the images of the steep canyons and mountain peaks finally accessible by train across the nation.
We will meet at Devil’s Gate on Monday, October 13 and take the 11:25 AM train. Please allow time for the drive and plan to arrive 15-20 minutes early.
