The trillium beds at mile 1 on the Champion to Indian Head trail have just started to bloom. I have been told by wild flower enthusiast that this bed is one of the largest in Western Pennsylvania and is easily several acres. It occupies the entire east hillside from the trail. To get to it access the trail from County Line Road in Champion and walk 1 mile south or where Mount Nebo Road crosses the trail and walk north about 1/10 mile. The trail starts on County Line Road about 100 yards from 711 and parallels 711 until Indian Head where it comes out by the bank. The first mile of the trail is rich with wild flowers and Abe has photographed over 100 different species over the years. One our our favorite walks. Enjoy
