Georgetown Loop Railroad & Mining Park - Silver Plume Depot

13 Scenic U.S. Train Rides for Fall Foliage Views

"Just 45 minutes west of Denver, a trip on the historic Georgetown Loop Railroad feels like traveling 150 years back in time. This railroad route was originally built to connect the mining towns of Georgetown and Silver Plume (which are just a few miles apart) through a steep, narrow, and scenic canyon. Corkscrewing up more than 600 feet in elevation and traveling across four separate bridges, it’s an 1880s marvel of engineering that survives today for guests to enjoy. In the fall, this railway offers seasonal promotions like "Autumnfest," which includes free beer samples from local breweries." - Travel + Leisure Editors
