Both of those are not that big of a deal for someone reasonably competent in short field work.  The bigger issue with each of them is the close terrain, limited option (if any) for a go around if you screw the pooch.

What caught my eye was that a major part of the spruces had no needles at all. Aren't they supposed to be evergreen?

Bark beetle and drought likely; western US needs rain/snow - lots.
