Winter doesn’t have to be all about shoveling snow and staying inside. Winter in South Dakota offers lots of magical experiences to help you make the most of the season, from energizing winter hikes to festive holiday light displays. But if you’re looking for a truly magical experience this winter, you need to take a sleigh ride through South Dakota’s Black Hills. Andy’s Trail Rides, in Lead offers the most amazing sleigh rides in South Dakota you’ll take all season long.

Andy’s Trail Rides offers sleigh rides on Deer Mountain. But it’s not just any old mountain path. Andy’s rides wind along a secluded elk trail through stretches of beautiful and untouched terrain. At the end of the ride you’ll be rewarded with an expansive 85-mile view at the mountain peak.

Bundle up in your hat, gloves and coat and bring along a blanket. Then you can snuggle in and enjoy the ride! This is one mountain climb where you won’t be doing any of the work, just sit back, relax, and enjoy the natural beauty around you.

Andy’s Trail Rides/Facebook There are a few different sleigh options, from a cozy two seater to a larger sleigh for family groups. You can also have some riders come along on horseback if they prefer.

Andy is one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet. He’s been riding since he was just a little tyke, and started leading trail rides when he was just nine years old.

Andy’s Trail Rides / Facebook He’s as natural with his guests as he is with the horses and knows the land so well he can point out unique flora and fauna along the way.

You’ll fall in love with these gorgeous horses. They’re as gentle (and during the holidays, jaunty) as they are strong.

Andy’s Trail Rides / Facebook This “jingle bells” themed sleigh ride is one of the most popular offerings Andy has. But it’s certainly not the only one. During warmer months you can take hunting and fishing trips through this same beautiful land. Led by Andy, these are no-stress trips that can help you relax from the stresses of everyday life. You can also take a horse ride tour at any time of the year.

This is some of South Dakota’s most beautiful country, and between the scenery all around you and the jingling of the horses’ harnesses you’ll feel as though you’ve been transported into the most magical winter wonderland ever.

Andy’s Trail Rides / Facebook It turns out snow laden sleigh rides aren’t just for the storybooks, you can experience those sleigh rides in South Dakota too.

Andy will tell you all about the history of this stunning place, and will answer all your questions along the way.

Andy’s Trail Rides/Facebook It’s no wonder he was given the “Quality Community Service” award by the State of South Dakota.

This is an experience you don’t want to miss! Reservations are required in advance. Call Andy at (605)645-2211 to schedule your sleigh ride.
