Georgetown Loop Railroad
Georgetown Loop Railroad Review
Hop on the Georgetown Loop Railroad, a 1920s narrow-gauge train that connects Georgetown with the equally historic community of Silver Plume. The 6-mi round-trip excursion takes about 70 minutes, and winds through vast stands of pine and fir before crossing the 95-foot-high Devil's Gate Bridge, where the track actually loops back over itself as it gains elevation. You can add on a tour of the Lebanon Silver Mill and Mine, which is a separate stop between the two towns.
