    Little Round Top is truly a must see. Along with the Visitor’s Center, the Museum, the Film, and the Cyclorama, this scenic overlook provides you with a strategic vantage point to scope out the sheer size of the battles that took place so long ago. Be careful walking up to the top, as it can be a little slippery. The trail is short and easy.

    I just brought my son to Gettysburg and he was drawn to Little Round Top just as I was when I was his age. There's something about it. It has a strong sense of place just from the dramatic natural topography and you add to that the fact that it was so crucial in deciding the battle (it's strategic importance is obvious to anyone once they see the beautiful view for themselves). Even as I child, I found it easiest to imagine the soldiers fighting here - hiding among the rocks, trying to to defend/capture the hill. It's a very special place.

    One of the best sights of Gettysburg. You get to see all of Gettysburg and its Battlefields. You also are to be in the same spot where one of the greatest fights of Gettysburg happened. A great place to visit in Gettysburg, dont forget to take a picture of the view 😀.

    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.

    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.

    A must visit. Historical location, a turning point in the war. The soberness when standing on the hill, overlooking the field. Amazing.

    Absolutely the best National Park I have ever visited. So sad yet the monuments and park grounds are beautiful. We will return again could not see everything in one day.

    Just astounding...Especially if you get there by 7 a.m. and beat the crowds. By the way, check it out while you can: a licensed tour guide told me the parking lot and the part of the hill next to it will be closed in 2022 for major renovations (new lot, conservation of erosion).

    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.

    Well marked locators and monuments allow you to reimagine the battle. The view from the top is great.

    My favorite spot on the battlefield. We took our wedding photos here. I will never forget this spot.

    Must see! General Warren's early discovery and his immediate grasp of Little Roundtop's strategic importance likely changed history. You can see Devil's Den, Bloody Run, some of The Wheatfield, the Peach Orchard, the High Water Mark and Seminary Ridge in its entirety. Another great place for youngsters to run around in huge volcanic rocks (also see Devil's Den).

    It was closed, but my American Legion chapter got a private tour. Been here before, but it's always exciting to tour Gettysburg and an amazing place

    I have visited on several occasions. Go to the end of the line, to where the 20th Maine defended the flank. So atmospheric. Great views from Little Round Top itself. I recommend an early or late visit, limited parking. Not to be missed.

  • 5/5 John L. 5 years ago on Google
    Just an amazing and breath taking place to see and witness the vantage point that the Union Soldiers had and why this place was attacked relentlessly. I recommend this place over other places in Gettysburg because it's that dramatic and get a tour guide if you don't much about this place and it's significance

    Historically interesting location. Great little place to take kids to not only be educated but also to let them run around and see the “castle.” Plenty of rocks to climb on and lots for little curious kiddos to see! Also an absolutely beautiful view down over the battlefield. No actual parking lot, you just park mostly along the road. No restrooms. Wear sturdy shoes and bring your sunscreen and water. Lots of one way roads so be prepared for heavy traffic during busy times.
