CHRISTMAS TREES

Did you know Oregon is the largest producer of Christmas trees in the US? There are over 700 Christmas tree farms in Oregon and Mt. Hood Territory is where you can find most of them. From Douglas and noble firs to blue spruces, we have them all.

Head to Mt. Hood Territory this winter with your family as you drive along country roads, stopping by Christmas tree farms searching for the perfect u-cut tree. The fun doesn’t stop there. Many farms offer extra holiday entertainment with hot chocolate, hayrides, and wreath building. Let this be an on-going activity as part of your family holiday traditions.

Looking for more adventure this holiday season? Head out to the Mt. Hood National Forest to cut your Christmas tree in the wild. Stop by a ranger district office for a permit and further instructions.
