Foliage along the trail.
This is the boulder you'll need to navigate near the end. The large branch is a useful ladder.
The trail becomes more overgrown in the last section, though it's rarely difficult to follow.
Part of one of the Martin 4-0-4's rotary engines.
The first piece of wreckage that the trail comes across. The plaque on the left section tells the story of TWA Flight 260.
More of the TWA wreckage. The large section on the left appears to be part of the vertical stabilizer (the smaller "wings" that are part of the tail).
