Thanksgiving is over and was it ever joyous. Now onto Christmas!
For the first time ever, we cut down our very own Christmas tree in the Sawtooth National Forest. I felt like National Lampoon's Christmas (minus the mishaps!) and it put me instantly in the mood for the upcoming holiday. Ho! Ho! Ho!
We bundled up the kids in their snow clothes and drove past Warm Springs to find our perfect tree. Three other families were also out there finding their tree, but there was PLENTY to choose from. Our tree is now sitting so lovely in our home and I beam at it with pride.
In order to cut down your own tree, you must purchase a $5 permit from SNRA. You may cut down a tree up to 10 feet tall. They are fully prepared and will even give you a map and ideal locations to cut down your tree. They make it pretty simple for first timers!
Permits can be purchased from the following locations:
- Ketchum Ranger District Office – 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM Monday – Friday
- Sawtooth NRA Hdqtrs Office – 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM Monday – Friday
