Are there any other sleigh rides in Utah?
Yes! Another sleigh ride in Utah that definitely deserves a spot on our list is found at Hardware Wildlife Management Area in northern Utah. For several years, the sleigh rides at Hardware Ranch were not available, but beginning once again in 2022, sleigh rides are offered several times a week. A few things to note about these sleigh rides:
The sleigh rides are available in the winter during the elk-viewing season.
Tickets for sleigh rides are sold only at the Hardware Wildlife Education Center.
You cannot make reservations for the sleigh rides and they are on a first-come, first-served basis.
Tickets are based on each rider’s age, but children ages three and younger are free.
What are some other winter activities in Utah?
Sleigh rides in Utah are certainly an unforgettable activity that deserves a spot on every Utahn’s bucket list, but they are not the only exciting thing to do in the winter in Utah. A few additional ideas include:
Visit one of the five national parks in the state. We are especially fond of Bryce Canyon National Park during the winter.
