Located just 45 minutes west of Denver, historic Georgetown annually attracts hundreds of visitors who come to experience the history and pioneering spirit of this 1875 mining town. Absorb the atmosphere at museums like the Hamill House Museum, the Georgetown Heritage Center and the Hotel de Paris. Learn all about silver mining as you take a ride to Silver Plume on the historic Georgetown Loop Railway - you can tour the Lebanon Silver Mine en-route. Georgetown is surrounded by some stunning Rocky Mountain landscape, which you can admire on a scenic drive along the Guanella Pass Scenic Byway (Video), or by hiking, biking or cross-country skiing along the many inviting trails. Other activities include white water rafting, ATV tours and fishing.
