Chop dat treeDig out your axes cuz it’s that time of year where we all drag dead trees into our homes and decorate them with lights and ornaments. Humans are weird, man. Anyway, take a ride on the Cascade Canyon Train so you can cut down your very own bona fide Christmas tree in the San Juan National Forest. While we know that sounds like the forest is being destroyed by holiday nuts, the designated tree-cutting area is a space where passengers can visit to cut down their own small white fir trees AND help reduce fire danger along the tracks. Tree choppin’ is hard work, so be sure to dress warmly.
Details: Dec. 1, 2, 8, 9, Christmas Tree Train, 9:45 a.m., $69, tree permit is $8, Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad & Museum, 479 Main Avenue, durangotrain.com
