all right you guys so first up as we were here in georgetown is to stop at the beautiful georgetown
lake there's like a wildlife viewing area lots of great trails that go all the way around and
this is like one of the most picturesque lakes i have seen yet it reminds us when we were in
hallstatt austria boating on hallstatt lake it's like a mirror it's so pretty
guys we just got down to the historic downtown of georgetown and i feel like i stepped back in
time but it is so cute and old this is like an old mining community even the library is like
old every day trip vlog trip starts with coffee we love trying out like local coffee shops so that's
what we're doing here at little andy's cafe a lot of places are not open yet um so we're just gonna
stop in so really really cool thing just happened in there today was their first day opening in
over a year may 28th they finally opened for the first time they were closed all of 2020 because of
the pandemic oh they were excited we were happy to be their first customers it was pretty cool
so cheers to that all right you're not going to believe what's right in front of us
this is absolutely too funny you're going to die oscar mayer wienermobile
guys we just got to georgetown railroad which is a historic railroad where you
can do a loop drive through the mountains and the loop is like a one hour train ride
so we're really excited to get on the train and check out the mountains via a train
tickets are $27.95 we did pre-purchase them online
just because we didn't want to like chance it being sold out
all right we're on the
train
is oh my god you guys that was awesome if you're in georgetown it's a huge attraction here and
it is definitely a must do it goes through the mountains like nice and slow you get some amazing
views and it's just it's just a really fun thing to do so highly recommend get on the train even
if you're not like a trained person because we're not really like big train people we found it way
fun so definitely do it they also have add-ons where you can do like a mining tour and stuff we
did not do that but it's definitely another option i wanted to tell you about the railroad if you're
looking for the views sit on the right side of the train um that's gonna give you like all the views
so that was one thing i was trying to find online to see like what side is the best side to sit on
now you know all right you guys so next up is guanella pass which is a road that um goes up
through the mountains um here right out of georgetown now a really fun thing it is may
28th memorial weekend friday and it's the first day that this past is open so a lot of firsts
