Cutting a Christmas tree in a national forest is a family tradition for many residents of Utah. Christmas tree outings in the mountains can be unpredictable so always be prepared for winter conditions. Stay on designated roads and trails. Be prepared for slick, snow-packed roads accessing and in cutting areas. Trees must always be cut close to the ground, leaving the stump no higher than six inches. Tree topping is prohibited. No cutting is allowed within two hundred feet of riparian areas (lakes and streams), roads, campgrounds, picnic areas, administrative sites, summer home areas, or within designated closed areas shown on tree cutting maps.
