“Absolutely the best Christmas trees in Northern Colorado. We got another beautiful Christmas tree this year. A shout out to Dustan and his staff…..the owner is a licensed Arborist so he knows his trees….Thanks for all your hard work to bring all of your customers fresh, beautiful Christmas trees. This tree lot has awesome trees of all shapes and sizes, beautiful wreaths, reindeer and snowmen, RCCT sweatshirts, tree funnels, tree preserve, bough bundles and hot chocolate and candy canes. One stop shopping. So much family fun…… We have been buying our tree here for years and always have so much fun. Thanks And Happy Holidays 🎄”

“If you love the look of the slim Subalpine fir trees (aka Charlie Brown style) from the mountains like I do, this is your place. They have an amazing selection of these types of trees harvested from the forest. We got a stunning 10ft tree for $75. If you’re looking for tree farm trees, they do have a few, but I came here specifically for the alpine fir. I am so happy and in love with our tree! They were super friendly and helped us secure it to our car, and it was a cute festive tree lot, we had a fun time picking out our tree! Fun memories with our family. Make sure you bring cash to pay😊”

“Hands down the best Christmas tree lot in Fort Collins! The staff are easy to spot in their branded sweatshirts and quick to help, free hot chocolate while you wait for your tree to get a fresh cut and water, and the prices can’t be beat. They open earlier than an other lot for all of us early Christmas folks. We bought an 8 ft tree for $70. Be aware: they only take check and cash. I hung out at the lot with our tree while my husband got cash. They were kind to allow me to do so! We will be visiting for years to come!”

“We had the best time picking out our first real Christmas tree as a family. The staff was so helpful and kind! The tree variety was amazing and gave us so many options to pick from. Beautiful trees and wreaths too! We can’t wait to make it a yearly tradition to come to Rist Canyon Christmas Trees with our daughter to pick the best tree and wreath for our home. Not only are the prices great but you get free hot chocolate and candy canes too! What a fun Christmas experience 😊🎄”

“Huge selection of trees in all different sizes, and all different types of Christmas trees. One of northern Colorado’s best Christmas tree, farm stands, and specifically in Fort Collins Colorado. Great set up with multiple areas to shop for trees and they even have free hot chocolate and Wintory treats. We get our tree from them every year and we are satisfied year after year. I highly recommend wrist Canyon Christmas trees for all of your Christmas tree needs.”
