Mtn.bar width currently............

Bring this old mtn.biker (hardtail) up to date. I was just looking at bars. Now, back when I was riding a lot, most bars were 26" (660mm) wide. When I see the bars listed now, seems most are at least 700mm up to 800mm. Seems some trees that I go thru might not even allow an 800mm bar to go through. Just to bring me "up to speed" (didn't realize the pun until I typed it), what is the avg. width these days, and are trails being cut with more space between trees (guess they must be).
