Starting Friday Dec. 2, the horse-drawn sleigh and wagon rides will be offered through the middle of hundreds of wild elk while they are feeding at the southern Cache Valley site. The elk are fed during the winter to try to keep them from migrating down Blacksmith Fork Canyon into private haystacks in the valley below. This winter, the length of time staff feed the elk will be shorter than it has been in the past. New this year is Haviland’s Old West Adventures, a long-time business in Cache County will offer the rides on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Rides will be offered every weekend through Feb. 12 and start at 10 a.m. and end at 4:30 p.m. each day. IMPORTANT: Tickets for sleigh rides are sold only at the Hardware Wildlife Education Center on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note that you cannot make reservations for sleigh rides. PRICES Ages 3 and younger: free Ages 4–8: $4 Ages 9 and up: $10 A food truck will be present during sleigh ride hours to sell snacks and beverages.

Tucked away in Cache County, Hyrum State Park offers many recreation opportunities including fishing, boating, and camping. Surrounded by tall, shady trees, Hyrum provides an excellent place for an afternoon picnic, or spend the whole weekend trolling on the lake catching yellow perch, rainbow trout, bluegill, and largemouth bass.

Visit Salt Lake

Salt Lake is the place where the Wasatch mountain peaks frame city streets. Sure, Salt Lake's famed for our winter powder ([four legendary ski resorts](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/skiing-snowboarding/) just 30 minutes from downtown), but that's just one season's story. Summer brings families [hiking through wildflower meadows](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/) before cooling off at a Jazz game or the Gateway fountains. Autumn paints our mountain canyons in gold, perfect for morning strolls that end at local coffee shops. Spring? That's when you might spot baby bison on Antelope Island before heading to the Eccles Theater for a Broadway show. Our soaring Wasatch Mountains rise dramatically from downtown Salt Lake, creating a place where every day offers both natural wonders and urban energy. And while we sit perfectly between the [national parks](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/state-national-parks/) with Yellowstone's geysers and Utah's red rock country, the real magic happens right here, where everyone can [discover the history](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/plan-your-visit/about-salt-lake/) of the city as they find their own rhythm between mountain adventure and city life.

Sports Salt Lake

The Grammy Award-winning Akropolis Reed Quintet is ‘a sonically daring ensemble who specializes in performing new works with charisma and integrity’ said BBC Music Magazine. The quintet has graced the Classical Billboard Charts with each of their last three albums and won seven national chamber music prizes. Having premiered and commissioned more than 200 works by living artists and composers, they are pioneers and champions of a new genre of classical music--the reed quintet. Akropolis is routinely lauded for their boldness and innovative spirit. As the Wire commented: ‘There’s nothing tentative in their approach, and that extends to their programming of multifariously challenging and imaginative new works.’ https://www.akropolisquintet.org/This calendar listing is brought to you by NowPlayingUtah.com, Utah's one-stop, online website for arts and entertainment events, powered by the Utah Cultural Alliance.
