my sister and i made a short visit to georgetown for lunch after finishing our trip to the top of mount evans.
the historic town of georgetown is a former silver mining camp along clear creek in the front range of the rocky mountains. the town has a population of just over 1000 people. the town sits at an elevation of 8,530 feet and is nestled in the mountains near the upper end of the valley of clear creek in the mountains west of denver along interstate 70. although a small town today, the town was a historic center of the mining industry in colorado during the late 19th century, earning the nickname the "silver queen of colorado". it has evolved into a lively historical summer tourist center today with many preserved structures from the heyday of the colorado silver boom.
