Layers of the trail's surface have been stripped away, leaving a deep concavity.

Another example of the deep erosion caused by Hurricane Helene.

In a bend of Laurel Creek an intact section of a washed-away trestle forms the foundation of a new dam.

More debris from the same bend in the creek creates a tangled barrier.

A lone bench sits near Trestle 22, one of the few survivors of Helene.
