DECEMBER 2, 2023 CHRISTMAS TREE HUNT

I wanted to check in about our December 2nd meet up/Christmas tree hunt/coffee and coco time together. Does anyone have an area that they usually go Christmas tree hunting? If not does anyone have a decent area that we can meet up that’s near either Coeur d’Alene/Sandpoint or Spokane that has a scenic overview?

I wanted to grab some ideas from those who have been local a little longer than I’ve been local :-)

I’ll call the ranger station to confirm. Another suggestion was the Ferdinand Saddle which isnt very far from downtown CDA.

How long is the Hoodoo route?

[Looniz1]

Here’s brief. Like I said it shows lands private , llc’s Idaho forest Montana lands bureau etc , farming is great for routes way points this just tells you trails and lands if public or private is why we like it

 

[Looniz1]

Christmas Tree Cutting Details

 

[PapaDave]

We will need a couple saws if people don’t have them

 

[Mitch&TigaB]

It's been a while for Tiga and I. I'm 7 months post total knee replacement and feel I'm up for walking around in knee deep snow. Although we live in Medical Lake, WA we'll drive along and give support and encouragement to everyone.
