Great place to go cut down a Christmas tree in the winter time. My family goes every year the week after Thanksgiving or the second week of December to buy tree tags at Bear River Lodge before driving in to find a tree. There are multiple places before Christmas meadows to find trees but we like driving to the meadows to find it. Check the weather and take a 4 wheel or all wheel drive vehicle if possible. Also I suggest getting to the lodge early if you are buying a tag as they are limited per day and could hit their limit on tags.
