This place exudes the serenity in reemergence of the fallen soldiers of so many years ago. My boyfriend and I toured the battleground and it was beautiful.

Never fails to amaze. You can almost feel the history around you. My sons especially love climbing on the boulders and enjoying learning some history while doing it. I highly recommend it it's memories that will last a lifetime.

I visit here at sunset as you can tell by the photos. You get a wide view of the battlefield and can see Devils Den from Little Round Top. It gives a really interesting perspectuve to what they saw during the battle here. I would offer some caution when climbing the rocks as people have gotten hurt and stuck between them.
