Trees available again this year 🎉🎅🏼🎄

The town of Georgetown is happy to announce the extension of our annual Christmas tree program. To prevent the spread of wildfires, specific trees must be removed from designated areas. To aid in the effort the Town partners with Clear Creek Fire Authority to offer the opportunity to cut down your very own Christmas Tree! Follow the link to fill out the form needed to verify your purchase before making your way up.

$30.00 per tree **unlimited quantity but must provide receipt per tree. Link to permit: https://georgetownco.rja.revize.com/forms/7076

Bring your own tools, and prepare for an approximately 1/2 mile walk to your chosen tree. Some trees will be flagged with a clear indication to collect, if not, please follow best practices - clustered trees, older trees, etc.
Most Trees are Douglas Fir and vary in size.

Absolutely Stunning!

The Winter season begins with a snow storm, of course! ❄️ This is your reminder that the train will be running, SHINE OR SNOW! 🚂

Here are some tips to make your experience a great one:

👉🏻 Dress in warm layers and bring cold weather gear such as hats and gloves. 🧤 While all train cars are enclosed and heated, you will still spend the short walk from the car to the depot outdoors.

👉🏻 Give yourself some extra travel time and make sure your car is prepared for the weather! 🚘 If you are traveling for Denver, you know the I-70 drive to the mountains can be challenging in the snow. Make sure your snow tires are on, you drive cautiously, and it’s always a good idea to have cold weather supplies in your car.

👉🏻 If you do have changes to your travel plans due to weather, please call our ticket office at 888-456-6777 as soon as you can to make changes to your reservation. ☎️ As this is a very busy season for us, please be patient and we will try to accommodate you best as we can!

👉🏻 Most importantly, as cold and snowy as it may be, we hope you join us in enjoying the magic and wonder of the winter season! ☃️

🚂 We look forward to seeing you soon!

Snowing in the high country!!! - Be prepared!!! This is 5 minutes ago at Eisenhower Tunnel approaching Loveland Ski Loveland Ski Area - Please drive with caution, allow extra time, and ensure you have good tire tread!!

The deformation zone of our storm system (area of storm where atmospheric stretching enhances precipitation rates) is currently dumping at a pretty good clip on the continental divide making travel difficult at pass level.

This is going up to the Eisenhower Tunnel.
