Idaho Private Sleigh Ride

Highlights

Description

Step into a snow-covered wonderland in Garden Valley, Idaho, where jingling bells and gentle hooves set the rhythm for a timeless sleigh ride. This private 45-minute journey accommodates up to 12 guests and offers the rare opportunity to see wild elk grazing in the surrounding meadows. Your sleigh, pulled by stunning black-and-white draft horses, glides across a pristine winter landscape framed by pine forests and mountain peaks. After your ride, warm up in the rustic lodge with complimentary cocoa, cookies, and the glow of a crackling fire. Families can linger to watch elk from the windows, share stories, or add on a hearty Dutch oven meal for a true Idaho experience. Whether it’s a family outing, romantic escape, or holiday celebration, the Idaho Sleigh Ride captures the magic of winter and the heart of the West. Bundle up, bring your loved ones, and let the sound of bells and laughter make this holiday memory last a lifetime.
