We were driving along Mountain Highway Loop from Barlow Pass to North Fauk River Trailhead. The gate was open but we ran into a downed tree pretty close to the gate entrance that made the road impassible. We ended up hiking to Silver Lake via Monte Cristo Trailhead instead. On the way out the road heading toward North Fauk was closed off, presumably by the folks maintaining the trail to clear the giant tree so that it's passable.

Do you have the location of the tree? How far from the TH was it?

Map location, just past Monte Cristo Trailhead when Mountain Loop Highway becomes a gravel road. As I mentioned, there were trail maintenance folks on our way out so someone may have cleared it already. Thank you if you did!
