What You'll See on the Trail

Holiday light display of Dancer the Reindeer

In 2008 the lights lined the trail in a few different ways. Basic strings created a festive fence to guide visitors on their way. Then there were the many arches to pass through as you walked, taking you into different themed areas. But the real treat were the figures that filled the fields of the park. Some were right at the trail's edge, while others glowed in the distance. A very large version of Dancer, seen here, welcomed you from the top of one of the park buildings.

Expect a similar display in 2009!
