Discover the best of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains by visiting the Georgetown Loop Railroad and Mining Park for gold panning & historically immersive experiences.

Located just off I-70 and only 45 miles west of Denver, the Georgetown Loop Railroad and Mining Park is one of Colorado’s most authentic living museums and historically immersive experiences. Bring your family and friends for a narrow gauge train ride, book a real silver mine tour, or learn how to pan for gold.

Step back into Colorado’s mining history with guided underground mine tours that take you deep into the story of the Silver Rush. Explore original 1880s tunnels, learn how miners worked by candlelight, and see authentic equipment still in place. After your tour, try your hand at gold panning - a fun, hands-on experience for all ages that might just end with a shiny souvenir.
