I don’t intend to be disrespectful here but why are trails closed because of trees down? You can either learn to ride over them or pickup your bike and walk around. Shouldn’t this just be a warning to be careful? I understand closing trails for 24 hours after a rain to stop erosion but a tree down doesn’t cause further damage to a trail.

.... why are trails closed because of trees down?

Rider safety is often a primary driver for closed trails due to storm damage. Very often the trail crew only has reports of down trees with little detail, no understanding if there is a safe bypass.
