HORSE-DRAWN SLEIGH RIDES

Winter scenery doesn’t seem to get its due when compared to fall, but a fresh blanket of snow certainly creates a pristine postcard landscape. And what better way to experience the snowy views of the Keystone State than with a horse-drawn sleigh ride?

Whether for a romantic moonlit sleigh ride or a wagon full of family and friends, a sleigh ride is a great way to become immersed in the splendor of the season and enjoy the crisp winter air.
