Taking a train ride in Colorado was one of the best excursions we did while staying in Denver. It's an experience that feels like stepping into a postcard. The beauty of the mountain landscape surrounds you, and for a few hours, the rest of the world disappears.

Taking a train ride in Colorado was one of the best excursions we did while staying in Denver. It's an experience that feels like stepping into a postcard. The beauty of the mountain landscape surrounds you, and for a few hours, the rest of the world disappears. If you’re looking for a unique adventure to add to your list of things to do in Colorado, or even just a quick escape from the hustle of the city, a Rocky Mountain train ride is an absolute must. We started our journey early in the morning, driving up from Denver. There are a variety of train rides to choose from, but we opted for the Georgetown Loop Railroad, a classic choice located less than an hour from the city. It’s one of the best things to do near Denver if you’re craving a mix of history, charm, and breathtaking views. The anticipation built as we approached the station, the tracks winding their way through the rugged terrain and the peaks towering above. The Georgetown Loop Railroad winds through stunning scenery, crossing trestle bridges and offering glimpses of the rushing Clear Creek below. The train ride through the Rocky Mountains Colorado isn’t just about scenery. The Georgetown Loop Railroad dates back to the late 1800s, and as you ride, you can almost imagine what it was like for miners and settlers who traveled these same paths. There’s even an option to tour the historic Lebanon Silver Mine as part of your trip, giving you a fascinating look into Colorado’s rich mining past. I tried to capture the perfect shot, but honestly, no photo could ever do it justice. It’s the kind of beauty you have to see with your own eyes. If you’re visiting Colorado and wondering what else to add to your itinerary, a Rocky Mountain train ride pairs perfectly with a day exploring nearby towns like Georgetown or Idaho Springs. Both are full of charm, offering cute shops, delicious eateries, and even hot springs for a relaxing soak after your adventure. By the time the train pulled back into the station, I felt completely refreshed. There’s something about the slower pace of a train ride that allows you to truly soak in the surroundings. It’s not just about the destination but the journey itself—a reminder to pause and appreciate the incredible world we live in. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, taking a train ride through the Rocky Mountains Colorado is an experience that stays with you long after the final whistle blows. It’s one of those quintessential Colorado adventures that everyone should try at least once. Trust me, you won’t regret it. #colorado #train #trainride #mountains #denver #coloradomountains #excursions #thingstodoincolorado #nature
