Nicknamed the "Silver Queen of the Rockies", Georgetown's fortunes began to ebb with the silver market crash of 1893. The booming city quieted into a sleepy community where nothing much changed for the next hundred years. Even the railroad was dismantled. At the lower end of town, you'll see one of the few modern constructions -- a condominium village and shopping plaza clustered around the shores of Georgetown Lake. But the original downtown is unspoiled, compact, and easy to find your way around in. Georgetown Loop Railroad is the main attraction in Georgetown.
When you're ready for a bite to eat, just wander past the galleries and antique shops along historic 6th Street. You'll run into the Red Ram Restaurant & Saloon (303-569-2300) and the Happy Cooker (303-569-3166), both renowned for solid home cooking.
