Idaho Sleigh Rides — Attraction in Idaho

We took the kids and grandkids up for a sleigh ride two days before Christmas. The facilities are dated, but the staff is attentive and very helpful. I was a bit disappointed that our wagon ran over the snow on wheels rather than runners, but the fact was that there'd only been a few days cold enough to deliver snow, and I suspect that with more snow earlier, they would have switched to runners sooner.

The lunch was yummy as well, and the cobbler was delicious! We would...

Peaceful quiet wagon ride (not enough snow for a sleigh) around a guys big flat backyard. I somehow thought it would be a ride up into some trees. The elk were fun to see, even though they were busy grazing on other piles of hay. The folks were nice, the horses were gorgeous, but I dont think Id do it again for the $300. (If it was a ride up into the trees Id do it again.) The lovely gal mentioned that tips were appreciated 4 times, but none of us had any cash. 😞 Who carries cash anymore? Felt bad. Take a little cash if you go, because they really rely on the tip afterwards. 4 stars because of the flat...
