5. FREE Outdoor Activities
Holmberg Park is always a hit with the kids, or with the kid’s at
heart (hey). This park has sledding hills for all ages. Bring your
own sled, park on the street, and let the fun begin! Make sure
you dress appropriately, snow boots are highly recommended.
Remember, the warmer you are, the longer you will last in the
snow, and the more fun you will have.
Snowshoeing at Mt Spokane. You will need a county permit to
park at Mt Spokane and you can rent snowshoes at REI for a
pretty cheap price. Snowshoeing is a great way to get active,
out of the house, and explore the mountains in the snow.

6. Green Bluff
Christmas Tree Farm
Green bluff is one of my
favorite places, year round.
But, there is something extra
special about being able to
hand select your Christmas
tree right on the grounds
where it grew. Christmas
Trees are available at Green
Bluff beginning after Thanksgiving. The farm is open daily
from 10am-4pm. They often
have booths around Green
bluff selling hot chocolate
and treats. The only thing
you have to worry about is
picking the biggest tree that
can possibly fit in your home,
without falling over. No one
likes a lopsided tree.
