Georgetown Narrow Guage Railroad
Georgetown, Colorado
In the 1860's, the mountains between Georgetown and Silver Plume established the area as one of the great silver-producing regions in the world. Soon a railroad had been built from Denver to Golden and up the mountains to Georgetown.

The challenge was to connect the rail from Georgetown to Silver Plume, which had to climb 600 ft. in just 2 miles. The project was complete in 1884 after one of the most famous engineering masterpieces – The Devil's Gate High Bride – was finished.

You can ride the same rail line starting in Georgetown and tour an actual Silver mine at the top.
