Dashing through the snow on a one-horse open sleigh. It sounds like a sweet Hallmark scene or something from a fairy tale, doesn’t it? And while you can often find sleigh rides featured prominently on the Hallmark channel each winter, and you may read about an idyllic sleigh ride on the pages of a historic novel, that’s not the only place you can find such a charming, old-fashioned experience. You can also find a magical winter sleigh ride of your very own right here in the mountains of West Virginia.
