The rocky hill at the southern end of the Union line, the scene of some of the most famous fighting on the second day. From the summit, the view across the Valley of Death to Devil's Den and the Wheatfield is unforgettable — and gives an immediate sense of why this hill mattered.
The terrain is steep and rough — the rocks where the soldiers crouched are still where they were. Walking trails lead up from the auto tour road. Avoid the busiest hours in summer — the summit gets crowded.
