A Sierra white fir chosen to be the Christmas tree at the U.S. Capitol will be on display in Los Angeles on Sunday.
The 65-foot tree, cut down in California's Stanislaus National Forest, will be on display from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Griffith Park in the parking lot of the Autry National Center at 4700 Western Heritage Way. Visitors are invited to make their own tree ornaments.
The tree is scheduled to make two more Southern California stops as part of its road trip to Washington. It will be in at the Victory Gardens mall in Rancho Cucamonga on Monday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and in the High Desert town of Barstow on Monday evening.
The tree is the fourth from California to be selected as the official Capitol Christmas tree in the tradition's 41 years.
