A sleigh ride in Steamboat Springs
The evening starts as we pick you up at one of the various locations throughout town and drive you to the ranch. It's a short twenty minute ride up the Elk River valley, where the horse drawn sleighs await. The sleigh ride trail follows the river through the lower pasture, drifts through the trees, and traverses back down our meadow to the loft of our remodeled barn. There, warm drinks, entertainment, and hospitality wait. Dinner is being prepared as you warm up, shake off the winter weather, browse the many western artifacts accumulated by our family over the years, and hear traditional western music performed by local artists. Dinner is served as the preparation completes. After dinner there is additional entertainment as you relax to let dinner settle. The after dinner entertainment concludes, as you bundle back up to take the sleighs back to the bus, and are returned to town. Reservations are required for all sleigh rides. Quality food and entertainment are our primary concerns. Having the ability to complement those two items with the horses, stories, and love of the western lifestyle, create a truly unique atmosphere that has to be experienced. We tend to leave the vast majority of patrons with a VERY full stomach and a smile on their face. We enjoy doing this and it shows. Prices are: Adults / Teens ~ $75.00 Senior Citizens ~ $65.00 Pre Teen's (ages 6-12) ~ $55.00 Children (3-5) ~ $30.00 Lap Children are free. We've been doing this for quite a while, and there are people who try to bend the age rules, and "get one over on us", but the ages clasifications are up to you. They usually fit pretty well, and you will either have a hungry teen-ager that received a child s meal, or a fairly large kid sitting on your lap(or very near!!!!), for the duration of the sleigh ride. Everything evens out in the end, and we don't try to make an unbeatable system, only a fair system.
