We made our annual trek up the mountain to get our Christmas tree a few weeks ago.
The whole trip takes about four hours total.
(look closely on the horizon. Heart Mountain near Cody about 100 miles away)
Meals, snacks, and snow clothes are packed for the trek up.
Once up, snow clothes are put on while inside the truck and then the hunt begins. We didn’t make it as far as we did last year, but we did make it into the national forest. Our eight dollar permit allows us to select trees in the National Forest.
The snow was pretty deep in areas.
This kid needed lots of encouragement to get through the snow.
Mostly the adults walked around and hunted while the girls played in the snow.
Clara had a better time as she figured out how to maneuver in the deep snow or find tracks to follow.
We finish the day off with Christmas tree cookies, hot chocolate and thoughts of snow on the mountians.
