Christmas Tree cutting and the Greening of Red Feather 2017

By
Real Estate Agent with United Country Ponderosa Realty, Red Feather Lakes, Colorado

Tree Cutting Red Feather LakesNext weekend begins the time of year when almost every vehicle coming down 74E has a tree on top!  People have been cutting their own Christmas tree in the area for several years and for many, it's a family tradition!

You can cut your own Christmas Tree December 2nd through the 10th, 2017 in Red Feather Lakes, CO.  

Smokey Bear is at the tree cutting site on the weekends greeting visitors, so bring your camera and take a photo with Smokey!

The Forest Service says chains or four-wheel drive are required to enter there. (today the road is totally dry- but that can change!)  Hand saws only- no chainsaws are permitted.

Here’s the full skinny for the Canyon Lakes Ranger District Christmas Tree Sale:

 

You can also cut a tree at Beaver Meadows Resort,  beside tree cutting they have a huge variety of outdoor winter fun, plus a restaurant and lounge!

Hi Mary-I would love your craft fair. I remember the annual greening of Red Feathers from previous posts. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

How fun and festive it must be to live in your area this time of the year. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. D

Hi Debb, it is fun here - the only thing that would make it more like Christmas is some snow....but I guess it will come soon.  Our last snow has already melted off!

Thanks Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD for coming by :-)

Oh, that craft fair would be right up my alley, Mary! And, when I saw your photo, it reminded me of a few cars that I saw that looked just like that today! However, they were picking up at a corner tree lot - not chopping them down themselves!!

Hope you're having a great weekend!
