Idaho Christmas Tree Sleigh Ride

Highlights

Description

Celebrate the magic of the holidays in true Idaho fashion with this private Christmas Tree Sleigh Ride for small groups. Perfect for couples or families of up to four, this 45-minute journey through Garden Valley’s snow-covered meadows is led by majestic black-and-white draft horses. The ride takes you to a secluded tree lot filled with fragrant Noble Firs and Douglas Firs, where you can choose your perfect Christmas tree to bring home. Afterward, return to the lodge for complimentary hot cocoa and cookies, warming up by the crackling fireplace as snowflakes drift outside. Every detail—from the jingle of bells to the friendly team guiding your sleigh—feels like stepping into a holiday postcard. Even if there’s no snow, the sleigh converts to a wagon for the same scenic experience. This outing captures the simple joys of the season: family laughter, the crisp mountain air, and the timeless tradition of picking the tree together.
