The Georgetown Loop Historic Mining & Railroad Park is a History Colorado property operated by Historic Rail Adventures, LLC; its narrow-gauge train connects Georgetown and Silver Plume, towns over two miles apart, over trestles, cuts, fills, loops and curves that scale an elevation of 640 feet, according to History Colorado. The train ride takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes in the main season and about 55 minutes from mid-October through early January, and a ride-and-mine-tour combination (Lebanon Silver Mine, offered April through September) takes about 2 1/2 hours. Pricing varies by season and is shown at ticket purchase (1-888-456-6777); the operator says trains sell out frequently. The Devil's Gate depot is at 646 Loop Drive in Georgetown (from I-70 exit 228), and the Silver Plume depot at 825 Railroad Avenue (exit 226) is open from late May through mid-October.
