If you're looking for adventure to get your Christmas tree this year, you can get a permit from a ranger station and go into the forest to find a tree. 

Amber Burleigh with the Mt. Hood National Forest says be prepared for snow.

When you buy the permit, you can also buy a map of forest service roads.  Don't rely on the GPS system in your car; they usually don't include forest service roads.

Also, tell someone where you're going in case you get stuck.  And don't play on your cell phone working;most cell phones don't work in the mountains.
