One habit I got into last year was calling the Forest Service before going out on a hike. One trail I was planning to hike was closed due to a plane crash at the trailhead which triggered a forest fire.

In Nov, there was a major windstorm in Colorado. Many trails on a line about 50 miles south of Salida to 20 miles north are closed this year due to MANY fallen trees. Parts of the trail to Mt. Shavano are covered with 10 feet of trees according to a trail report I read.
