A path of Red Maple trees gradually descends around the Bowl of the Sacred Ground. Behind the walkway are the 40 groves, each with 40 Red and Sugar Maple trees that radiate from the center of the Bowl. These maple trees are indigenous to the woodlands of the Pennsylvania Laurel Highlands. They turn color in autumn and are bare-branched or green-leafed during the rest of the year. Pedestrian trails meander through the groves eventually leading to the Sacred Ground.
