Colorado is providing the Christmas tree for the U.S Capitol

The tree that stands in front of the US Capitol Building in Washington, DC is known by two names – the US Capitol Christmas Tree or the “people’s tree.” This year the tree will come from the Blanco Ranger District out of the White River National Forest near Meeker, Colorado.
