In winter especially, it's a treat, the mountains are white and quiet and its just you on a horse and nature in all its winter glory. The mountain air is crisp and cool and just what the doc ordered.

If the weather is fair, your river sailor expertise could be put to test at the fun spots on Delaware River on a canoe. Or a six-person rafter or maybe a single or double kayak river trip on the Delaware. And if you want more, try the Camelbeach Water park. It's here. http://www.camelbeach.com.
You could introduce the kids to golf at the mini-golf course or play the 18 hole par 71 golf course with its glorious natural setting on a manicured green. It's not just pretty, it's pretty challenging as well.
