This is probably either Devils Club or Thimbleberry. Both have large leaves and both grow in this area. I suspect it is Devils Club, but you should make the final determination as to ID. Both have thorns, but Devils Club is exceptionally wicked looking and it has earned its other common name "Devils Walking Stick."
