People who wish they could’ve experience vintage Colorado can still do so in Georgetown, a historic town founded in 1859. Referred to as “Silver Queen of the Rockies,” due to the lack of gold, but plethora of silver found in the mountains, Georgetown started out as a mining town and still has the museums, and steam engines and old town feel that transports visitors back in time with historic storefronts, antique stores, and locally owned boutique retailers along 6th street. Most visitors to Georgetown enjoy taking a ride on the Georgetown Loop Railroad. Some of the best times to visit are during the holiday season when the railroad turns into Santa’s North Pole Adventure. Lighted Forest rides are also available! Visitors staying at one of the iconic inns in Georgetown can venture just thirteen miles up the road to the Loveland Ski Area, a 1,800-acre resort.
