Black Hills National Forest: Christmas Tree 2020

 After our hike of Little Devil's Tower, it was time to go pick out the Grunwald Family Christmas tree for 2020. I found a map online that showed where there were high concentrations of spruces and so we headed in that direction. The first road we followed we were not very successful. We decided to continue on the section of the Needles Highway that is open in winter and found a paved pull-off with a nearby grassy, logging road. I scouted out the logging road and thought it looked like a likely location to find our tree, so I went back to the car to get Noelle and Sierra. 


Together we hiked along the closed road and checked out a few different specimens, before we found "the one."
