With cases of Covid-19 on the rise, Coloradans are beginning to find themselves stuck inside during the glorious summer season, thanks to both the fear of contracting the virus and the closure of businesses everywhere. Fortunately, there are still a handful of safe alternatives for Coloradans looking to get out of the house and do something, including a social distance ride aboard the iconic Georgetown Loop Railroad:

Located a mere 45 minutes from Denver is the charming town of Georgetown and their world-famous Georgetown Loop Railroad!

Established in 1879, the Georgetown Loop Railroad was a first-of-its-kind line that not only navigated a narrow canyon (via a three-foot narrow gauge railroad line) but crossed four bridges and gained a whopping 600 feet in elevation.

Sadly, the line was abandoned in 1938 but later restored for passenger use. 
When you climb aboard the Georgetown Loop Railroad today, you will be treated to a delightful trip through the Rocky Mountains, complete with all of its magical sights, sounds, and smells.
