According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, participating in activities outdoors is preferred and safer than indoor activities. Well, if you are looking for a fun, safe outdoor adventure for your family or friends, the family owned and operated Broken Arrow Sleigh Rides at Deer Valley has you covered.
The sleigh rides are perfect for couples seeking out an intimate, romantic evening or families and friends who want to enjoy a beautiful outdoor winter experience together. The sleigh ride experience can even be adapted to accommodate larger “pandemic pod” groups. All rides are private, so you won’t be thrown in a sleigh filled with strangers, and children under the age of five ride free.
The sleigh rides depart from Stein Eriksen Lodge and take visitors on a magical winter tour of Deer Valley. The Park City snow globe effect is heightened if you happen to be treated to a snowy Utah evening or book over the holidays when Christmas lights abound. The sleighs are drawn by one or two Percheron draft horses and generously furnished with warm blankets to keep everyone cozy during the ride. If you want to turn
the experience into a full-blown affair, feel free to pack along drinks and snacks.
A typical Broken Arrow Sleigh Ride lasts for 30 minutes, but shorter rides are available at Deer Valley Resort’s Fireside Dining — it’s the perfect way to kick off or finish an evening of delicious dining.
Keep in mind that it pays to show up a little early. You can ooh and aah over Stein Eriksen Lodge’s impressive Christmas decor or head to the Broken Arrow Sleigh Rides meeting spot to say hello to the horses before they whisk you away on your winter adventure.
For a unique and unforgettable Utah winter experience, you’re in expert hands dashing through the snow with Broken Arrow Sleigh Rides.
