Sleigh Bells ‘n Whistles

Train Ride, Sleigh Ride and a Cowboy, Poet, Heber Utah, Heber Creeper, Provo Canyon, Winter Activities

Experience Heber Valley’s winter wonderland as you travel over the river and through the fields…first by train, then by sleigh! Along the way, you’ll stop for a journey by horse drawn sleighs or wagons (dependent on snow conditions) through the beautiful country setting, to a ranch shelter. There, you’ll delight to tales told by an authentic cowboy poet and enjoy sweet treats and hot beverages around the old-time pot-bellied stove. Then, climb aboard again and return to the Heber Depot.

The train departs from the Heber Valley Railroad Depot and travels toward Midway for a beautiful view of the Deer Creek Reservoir and Heber Valley. Along the route, you’ll stop for an old-fashioned group sleigh ride through snow-covered fields, then return to the Heber Valley Railroad Depot in the warmth of the train. Fare includes approximately 30-minute, round-trip train ride, group sleigh/wagon ride, refreshments and entertainment.

Dress warmly for the sleigh ride and make sure to bring your camera…you just might see deer and elk along the way!
Perfect for all ages, families, friends and groups (can comfortably accommodate up to 60 passengers, larger groups also welcome).
Advance reservations are required 24-hours in advance. No outside food or beverage is allowed.
