Overview
Riders embark up the picturesque Clear Creek Canyon on the Georgetown Railroad's passenger cars (both closed and open-air) pulled by a steam or diesel locomotive; the tracks connect Georgetown to Silver Plume (about two miles apart), traversing over rocky, alpine terrain and through curves and twists to its destination. Midway through, you’ll have the option to walk into the historic Lebanon Silver Mine, which was mined in the 1870's, and see the traces of silver that still remain.
