Enjoy a Sleigh Ride

Itinerary tips

• 1Book your time slot at least two weeks in advance, especially if you want a ride during the popular Christmas to New Year's week.
• 2Dress in heavy layers with wool socks and waterproof boots, as temperatures drop rapidly once the sun dips behind the Wasatch mountains.
• 3Arrive 20 minutes early at the Soldier Hollow or Homestead Resort staging areas to check in and secure your complimentary blankets.
• 4Bring small bills for tipping your driver and purchasing hot cocoa or cider available at the trailhead stations.
• 5Allow 60 to 90 minutes for the total experience, including the roughly 30-minute ride and time for photos with the horses.
• 6Combine this with a soak in the Homestead Crater to warm up your core immediately following your frigid outdoor ride.
