The Georgetown Trust for Conservation and Preservation runs the Gateway Visitor Center at 1491 Argentine Street, just off I-70 at the Georgetown exit. It has real-time traffic information from CDOT monitors and access to the COtrip site, travel and local information, souvenirs and collectibles, and interpretive displays and films about the Georgetown-Silver Plume National Historic Landmark District. Outside there is a picnic area and a dog walk; overnight parking is not permitted.

The Trust’s page gives the gift shop and information center as 9 am to 5 pm daily and the restrooms as 6 am to 10 pm daily, and separately lists information services as 9 am to 5 pm Monday to Friday, with hours that may be affected by federal holidays. The page carries no dated post; its notes on the I-70 Floyd Hill project (construction from July 2023, expected to finish in late 2028) are the newest thing on it, and the Town of Georgetown’s visitor page (https://www.townofgeorgetown.us/visitor.php) lists the center at the same address as the place to pick up the self-guided walking tour book. Facts from the Trust’s Gateway Visitor Center page, read 10 October 2026.

  • Explore Georgetown: six places in driving order

    From the visitor center at exit 228 to the Loop train at Devil's Gate, lunch downtown, City Park, an hour inside a working gold mine, and the lake loop with dinner at Cabin Creek. Thursday to Sunday suits it; Guanella Pass is a separate drive.

  • Before you go: Georgetown from October to May

    What changes in Georgetown after the summer: the Loop's shorter diesel trains and closed Silver Plume station, the museums shut since 27 September, the gold mine by reservation, Guanella Pass gated after Thanksgiving, and the Town's rules for the lake ice. Where to check each before you drive up.
