3dep can be a huge help in figuring out how prominent tree covered roads are.

Thanks, this is interesting. I checked a few spots and it doesn't seem to be quite helpful for what I'm looking for (seeing if a road has had brush grow back in over it making it impassable) but this would be quite useful for other things.
