Christmas Tree Hunting

On Sunday we hiked into Darby Canyon on the west side of the Teton Mountains to cut down a Christmas tree. This is my first “real” Christmas tree and I am enjoying the wonderful smell of a fresh tree in our house. We did fall into the standard trap of finding a “small” tree in the forest which ended up being a HUGE tree when it arrived home. I think it grew 2 feet during the 30 minute drive home. It’s a good thing that we have tall ceilings.

Tree dimensions: 10+ feet tall – 7 feet wide.
