@americantravelarchives: Can’t believe so many people skip this tiny mountain town in Colorado... ⠀ It’s basically a Victorian time capsule in the Rockies 🚂 ⠀ Follow americantravelarchives for more hidden gems and bucket list adventures across the U.S. ⠀ 📍 Georgetown, Colorado ⠀ Just an hour west of Denver right off I-70, Georgetown feels like stepping straight into an 1880s silver mining town. The entire downtown is a National Historic Landmark District, and somehow it still flies under the radar for most people road-tripping through the Rockies. ⠀ Why visit: 🚂 Ride the Georgetown Loop Railroad, a narrow-gauge steam train that climbs through the mountains 🏛 Tour the Hotel de Paris Museum, frozen in time since the 1800s 🐏 Pull off at the bighorn sheep viewing area right outside town 🍂 Drive Guanella Pass for some of the best fall colors in the state 🥧 Grab pie and coffee on a main street that looks like a movie set ⠀ Pro Tip: Time your visit for the fall train rides. The aspens light up along the route and tickets sell out fast. ⠀ Tag someone you’d take on a historic train ride or drop your favorite small Colorado town below!
