Rafting, fishing, mountain biking and kayaking are also popular activities in the region. Long story short? Georgetown has something for everyone, making it the perfect home base for your Rocky Mountain adventure. Breckenridge and Copper Mountain are 40 minutes away.

Getting Around: The easiest way to navigate Colorado’s mountain towns and ski resorts is by car. We suggest that you not rely on ride sharing services like Uber and Lyft, as they are sparse and unreliable in our area. One alternative is the Peak 1 Express, which bills itself as the best shuttle to the Rockies. They can get you to Breck, Vail, Beaver Creek and Keystone and also offer daily service to Summit County and Vail in their Mercedes Sprinters & SUVs.
