In addition to all of the holiday happenings, take advantage of some of the other activities the area has to offer. There are miles of Nordic trails groomed to perfection, horses eager to take you for a wintery ride, a snowcat that will show you what 350 horsepower feels like when you’re in the driver’s seat, or snowmobile tours that will take you into the expansive National Forest surrounding the area.
