Bypassing This Obstacle Was Another Issue
No room at all underneath. This guy was flat against the trail! And the portion at the trail point was a bit too tall to readily crawl over. (A lady coming from the other direction managed to crawl over the top at the root end where one could improvise some "stair steps".) But the rest of us were not that athletic. After some study of the situation we devised a route by going up the hill, to the right in the photo, to where the diameter of the log was sufficiently smaller such that we were able to crawl over it. My gloves got soaked in the process and my fingers were cold all the rest of the way to Castle Rock.
