@c_dan4th@mstdn.social one of the weird things about living in the PNW for a while after growing up here was coming around a corner on a trail and finding a tree down that was 3 meters in diameter so then the trail is definitely closed.
I've crossed avalanche tree jams before and that's a good way to break a leg, trying to move from tree to tree.

@smellsofbikes@mastodon.social I encountered something like that in the Hoh Rainforest; a downed spruce which was 3 meters tall. Fortunately it had shattered near the trail and I could climb up one side and down the other on a crooked staircase of broken trunk, but otherwise it would have required a long bushwhack around to one end or the other.
