Go dashing through the snow on your way to a charming homestead in the beautiful Soda Creek Valley. On this Sleighride Dinner in Keystone, you’ll be greeted by a hearty meal fit for only the finest of cowboys and girls. A true Wild West experience, complete with our wranglers sharing stories of the area’s earliest settlers.

 

Golden Horseshoe Tour Co – Breckenridge

This sleigh ride is an interactive dinner show that guarantees belly laughs! In 1859, the gold-threaded hills just northeast of Breck drew floods of prospectors. Today, the grounds offer up a replica mining camp complete with trading post and dining hall. Climb aboard the horse-drawn sleigh with hot cocoa and fleece blankets and schuss through the snowy forest to a log cabin where you’ll settle in among antique wood stoves. The two-hour tour and dinner theater experience is hilarious and historically accurate with costumed Western characters and a three-course tin-plated feast.
