    On September 28, 2024, Hurricane Helene made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane. The intensity and size of this storm created an immense swath of damage across, destroying vast portions of the Virginia Creeper Trail, a 34.3-mile, mixed-use trail that runs along old railroad beds and bridges in southwestern Virginia. Roughly 17 miles of the trail traverses the Mount Rogers National Recreation Area, managed by the U.S. Forest Service.
