"So cool to visit and see the landscape of the places you’ve seen on TV. You definitely get a better appreciation of what the soldiers had to go through. Lots of huge boulders with narrow access points to try and gain the hill. Nearly impossible position to overtake of you are attacking well fortified positions. There’s a clear view of Devils Den across the creek too."
"10/10 I would come back. Everyone is so nice in this area too!!! The scenery is amazing, the inns and food around is great! The locals are definitely helpful and welcoming. Yet one can see they really care about the area, cleanliness and condition of the surrounding nature."
"Little Round Top was quite lovely, and the rolling battle fields are simply awesomeness. The Appalachian Mountains are hard to put in words, how gorgeous, Purple Mountain Majesty. Down town had a Christmas tree lighting ceremony, and the whole town was lit up, too. Simply magical."
"I suggest you drive the "fish hook" and end at Little Round Top (see Big Round Top first). You will see the Battle from the Union's perspective as they held the hill. Read all the signs and try to image charging up that him from the valley below. Dog friendly. You can park right at the top of there is space, or you can walk about 75 yards from the next parking lot down."
