We can all probably agree that Pennsylvania’s landscape – from the rolling farmland to the lush forests – is simply breathtaking in any season. Add a vibrant pop of color from the blossoming wildflowers, and the warmer months become even more special. You won’t have to really hunt too hard to find the colorful wildflowers when you follow the Trexler Border Trail in Pennsylvania.
You’ll have plenty of time to stop and smell the wildflowers that line the 9.1-mile Trexler Border Trail, which meanders through Trexler Nature Preserve in Schnecksville.
