We’ll see the “sights and sounds” of the Mile High City. Next is a ride on the Georgetown Scenic Railroad. This is an old- time steam locomotive chugging its way up the canyon, hauling our train past the remains of several gold and silver miles. This short ride will take us over mountainous terrain requiring trestles, cuts, fills, loops and curves of narrow gauge track. Next is our tour of the Lebanon Silver Mine, taking us 500 feet into a mine tunnel bored in the 1870’s. Our guide will point out rich veins of silver and tell us about early-day mining.

You’ll climb high atop the Rockies and deep into the valleys and travel along the Colorado River. You’ll travel thru 30 tunnels; and, oh, one thing not to be missed is “Moon River”.

This 9-mile ride travels along Ruston Creek in Englemann Canyon. The on board guides like to point out the various faces and shapes (with a little bit of imagination) that can be seen in the giant boulders. Dinner tonight is at one of my favorite stops that I’ve been going to for nearly 12 years now – The Flying W Chuck Wagon Dinner Show. I love the American Cowboy music and well as the great country and gospel that the Flying W Wranglers will sing for us tonight.
