This Quaint Sleigh Ride Through Oregon’s Forest Is A Magnificent Way To Take It All In

Oregon’s forests are straight-from-a-fairy-tale beautiful, and there’s nothing better than a day spent reveling in their sublime natural beauty. And while hiking in these lush forests is wonderful, if you want to take your experience to another level altogether, ditch the boots and backpack and cozy up in a one-horse open sleigh! At Odell Lake Lodge & Resort, guests can opt for a sleigh ride through Oregon’s Deschutes National Forest, for an experience that’s nothing short of magical.

During these uncertain times, please keep safety in mind and consider adding destinations to your bucket list to visit at a later date.

Odell Lake is located near Willamette Pass in the northwest corner of Klamath County, Oregon.

Odell Lake Lodge has a team of seven commanding Clydesdales, and a red, one-horse open sleigh that would make Santa jealous.

The rate is $125 for the sleigh ride, and includes a cup of hot chocolate or coffee. But it’s well-worth the splurge, we say.

NEW BUTTON. DIFFERENT FUND. LET’S DO THIS!

FUND TOTAL AS OF TODAY: $797

I’m no genius. Just an average girl who has a passion to save horses in need. This is my idea going forward. If we have a constant fund going daily… we will have funds to give to those on the ground who are saving these horses in real time at the killing auctions.

Horse and Man Foundation, Inc has a new Fund button. KEEP THEM OFF THE TRUCK FUND. This fund will go on all day, all the time. It will always be here. If you want to save a horse from slaughter, you know we will do that here.
