LO Colorado x Wyoming | Christmas Tree Cutting Event

Latino Outdoors Colorado/Wyoming will be hosting a “cut-your-own” Christmas tree outing in the Arapaho–Roosevelt National Forest. Our outings leader will provide one tree-cutting permit per family. We will assist you in choosing, cutting, and transporting your tree. All cutting gear will be provided—along with hot chocolate!

To participate, please purchase one ticket per family. You must be able to drive to the site and transport your own tree. If you have tie-down straps, please bring them; otherwise, our volunteers can help safely secure your tree to your vehicle.
