Wonderful people and great fun!
My wife and I spent the better part of an afternoon for a sleigh ride at Mountain Springs Resort. We certainly enjoyed sleighing through the meadows and woods, even passing Grandma's house along the way. As enjoyable as the ride was, it was made even more so by our teamster Jimmy. He has quite an interesting life story and a passion for what he does. Perhaps we'll get to meet Short Stack in the future! Adam, one of the owner's son's clearly loved his horses. We were fortunate enough for the wild turkeys to arrive just in time for their feeding! Adam explained that even though they were wild, they did enjoy a bit of a treat of mixed grain on occasion. The sleigh ride took a bit over a half an hour and meandered through snow covered meadows and hilly forest. The blankets kept us warm, though I do I do recommend dressing for winter! The ride gave us a little bit of a thrill at times, but we always felt secure with Jimmy at the reins. Adam treated us to hot cider around an open fire, telling stories of how his ancestors settled the area and how the property has evolved into the beautiful all-season resort that stands today. I certainly recommend a visit for people of all ages.

The Best, but possibly costly
This was our third sleigh ride in the Leavenworth area. We think this one was the best although it was also substantially more expensive. There are two primary differences: this sleigh ride is booked through a lodge and you are charged by the row instead of by the person. We had 5 people so we had to get two rows. If I had 5 people again I would go elsewhere; however in a group of 4 or 8 I would definitely return here.
