Forty Memorial Groves of red and sugar maple trees line the curving walkway which descends to Sacred Ground at the Flight 93 Memorial, commemorating the collective act of courage by the 40 passengers and crew of Flight 93. These maples naturally occur locally throughout the woodlands of the Laurel Highlands of Pennsylvania. The deciduous trees turn brilliant colors of red and orange in autumn.
