What It’s Really Like Riding the Georgetown Loop Railroad in Colorado

from Radically Colorado · host Derek Schulze

We finally made it out to ride the Georgetown Loop Railroad… and not just any ride, the Easter Bunny train 🐰🚂In this episode we take you through what it’s actually like to ride the loop, from showing up in Georgetown to getting on the train, what the experience feels like in real time, and whether it’s actually worth doing. We brought Bodhi out for the Easter Bunny ride (which… went about how you’d expect 😂), and filmed the whole thing so you can see exactly what you’re getting into.But this isn’t just a train ride. This railroad was one of the most insane engineering feats of the 1800s, built during Colorado’s mining boom to connect Georgetown and Silver Plume through terrain that honestly shouldn’t have been possible at the time. The loop, the elevation change, and especially the Devil’s Gate High Bridge are what made this railroad legendary.So we break down both sides of it:what it’s like today as an experience, and how it actually came to exist in the first place.If you’ve ever thought about doing this, especially one of the themed rides like Easter, this will give you the full picture before you go.---**Plan your visit / links from the video:**Georgetown Loop Railroad tickets & info: [https://www.georgetownlooprr.com](https://www.georgetownlooprr.com)Colorado history resources: [https://www.historycolorado.org](https://www.historycolorado.org)Explore Georgetown, CO: [https://www.townofgeorgetown.org](https://www.townofgeorgetown.org)Download our free Insider’s Guide to Denver:https://symbiohomes.com/insiders-guideContact us: [https://symbiohomes.com](https://symbiohomes.com)Call or text: 7209557770Email: [email protected]#georgetownloop #georgetownlooprailroad #coloradohistory #trainride #easterbunnytrain #georgetowncolorado #coloradotravel #rockymountains #thingstodoincolorado #scenictrain #familytravel #radicallycolorado00:00 Intro 02:23 Gold06:22 The Loop09:19 Ride12:31 History 15:23 Rail Over Cars
