Welcome aboard the iconic Georgetown Loop Railroad!
Established in 1879, the Georgetown Loop Railroad is as unique as it is downright stunning, as the first-of-its-kind train gains a whopping 600 feet in elevation, plus navigates a narrow canyon via a three-foot narrow gauge railroad line and crosses a record four bridges.
Open from the end of April through the end of October, there is a perfect seat and pricepoint for everyone aboard the Georgetown Loop, thanks to Waldorf and Tahoe Cars, Parlor Cars, and our personal favorite: Coach Class.
During the warmer summer and fall months, the Coach Class roofs are removed from the cars and turned into open-air vessels that make watching the passing landscape even more exciting!
In addition to their standard rides, the Georgetown Loop also hosts several special events that range from Santa’s North Pole Adventure to Wild West Days to Pumpkinfest, a Fall Colors ride, and Grandparents Weekend.
