Embrace winter’s romance with one of our most popular activities: a classic horse-drawn sleigh ride through the snowy hills. Take a day-time sleigh ride and enjoy the scenic views from Bald to Proctor Mountain. For a longer, more memorable night, take the sleigh ride to Trail Creek Cabin for dinner with the family. Private bookings are also available. 2018-19 sleigh/dinner tickets on sale now! Please call 208-622-2135.
Dinner Sleigh Rides
A sleigh ride to Trail Creek Cabin for dinner has traditionally been one of the most memorable and fun Sun Valley winter experiences for the whole family. The sleigh ride to Trail Creek Cabin for dinner is available Wednesdays through Sundays and nightly during Christmas holiday and President’s Week. Private bookings are also available.
The ride lasts about forty minutes. Dress should be warm and blankets are provided. Because of the wild popularity of the sleigh/wagon rides to dinner at Trail Creek Cabin, reservations are required.
Sleigh reservations should be made well in advance to ensure availability. Reservations should be made through the Sun Valley Recreation Center: (208) 622-2135.
Weather permitting, sleighs/wagons will run mid-December through March 2019.
