A southwest Montana tradition: tree hunting
Now that you’re armed with a great Duckworth base layer, it’s time to follow a longtime southwest Montana tradition—venturing out into the woods and cutting your own Christmas tree. While friends and family may argue over exact qualities that make for the perfect holiday tree, nothing beats a brisk hike or cross-country ski into your favorite National Forest to find it.
First, be sure to acquire a tree permit from recreation.gov. There you can also find helpful maps for where to hunt down the best tree nearest to you. Forest Service guidelines ask that you not cut trees from campgrounds or parking lots, trailheads, picnic areas or within 200 feet of any streams or lakes.
Once you’ve chosen a location, pack a sled, gloves, warm layers and a small saw and head out for your tree hunt!
