Santa's Rocky Mountain Adventure — Georgetown Loop Railroad

The Georgetown Loop Railroad runs Santa's Rocky Mountain Adventure as a daytime holiday excursion from Georgetown, Colorado. The operator describes a festive journey through the snow-covered Rocky Mountains on a historic train, with Santa Claus visiting with children on board.
