Update for January 12, 2018 until snow arrives

Mother Nature continues to offer Lake Tahoe beautiful warm sunny days well into the month of January. 

Horse Drawn Sleigh Rides at Sand Harbor State Park 

Horse Drawn Sleigh Rides at Sand Harbor State Park 

We try to remember that the snow will come and 'Dashing' will again be a part of the program!

But for now-- No Snow = Safe Roads!  So, we encourage you to get out, drive around the lake and see the sight that might not be available if frigid temperatures and road controls were in our forecast.  Some of my Favs are:  Virginia City is like stepping into the 1800's, Genoa's Hot Springs - Love It!, Reno's River Walk (good food there and some Music Hot Spots, the National Automobile Museum is amazing & the Discovery Center (for those of you with children) Is Awesome! Kids should be the only ones to enjoy this....

Until then, the Borges Family will be offering horse drawn sleigh/carriage rides on wheel at both of our locations.  Stateline & Sand Harbor

North Shore at Sand Harbor State Park offers spectacular views.  The main entrance is off Hwy 28 and we are located inside the State Park by the Visitor's Center.  On Saturdays & Sundays many times you can stop by and go for a ride from 11am - 3pm.  Fridays & Mondays call first to be sure reservations available.  775-588-2953

South Lake Tahoe on the corner of Stateline Ave & Hwy 50 (4130 Lake Tahoe Blvd.) conveniently located between Harrah's Casino and the Heavenly Gondola.  We offer a city tour which will take you down to the Lake, along her shores and back.                                                  Thursday thru Monday from 11am - 3:30pm.  Reservation not necessary. 

We will offer a 30 minute group ride for $25 per adult, $10 children under 10 years old.

Our private 1 hour ride is $50 per adult, $20 children under 10 years old and $5 off for seniors, military & Students.

Good Morning and Happy New Year!

From all of Us...to all of You!

From all of Us...to all of You!

Sleigh Ride Enthusiast are excited with the changes the weather pattern is forcated in the coming weeks.  Of corse, Mother Nature is slow is changing things up so the East Coast can get a breather from the Snow & Cold Temperatures and the West Coast can get their share of the Magic of Winter!

But until the raining pattern turns into snow at Lake Tahoe level (6,200 ft) we are on a Weather Hold.  This means we are not taking reservations until Sunday January 6th.  Dates after 1/6/18 are open as usual. 

As of Sunday, 1/6/18, Sand Harbor State Park will be open and accepting 1 hours reservation from 12pm until last ride at 3pm. 

South Lake Tahoe Carriage Rides have been open accepting riders on a First/Come - First/Served basis 11am - 3pm (last rides) on the Corner of Stateline Ave & Lake Tahoe Blvd. in front of the Lake Tahoe Resort Hotel.

As you could imagine, we have been busy here at the Borges Family Sleigh Rides answering phone and doing our best to schedule activities you make your Holiday Season Happy & Bright.  Although Mother Nature hasn't been especially generous with Snow for Christmas, we still have a very enjoyable and scenic Horse-Drawn ride available at Sand Harbor State Park, Incline Village, Nevada at 2005 Hwy 28.  Go to the Main Entrance of the State Park to the Visitor's Center between 12pm - 2pm for your best chance of a ride. 

Our 30 minute ride is on a First-Come/First-Served basis.  $25 adults & $10 for children under 10 years old.  Babies under 2 years are always fee.  We can't always guarantee everyone will get a ride, but we will do our best depending on the crowds.  And an extra bonus is you do get to visit one of the Lake Tahoe's most Spectacular State Park!  Reservations are no longer available.

Unfortunately, the South Lake Tahoe locations have not opened for the season.  We are hoping that will change with any further storms that come our way.

We hope you enjoy your stay at Lake Tahoe and visit us again.

Thank you.
