You step into a quiet battlefield road just as the morning light flattens the ridgelines — the car door closes, the guide’s voice begins, and the landscape takes on the weight of events from July 1863. The tour moves deliberately: Seminary Ridge first, where artillery lines once hummed; a short walk to Little Round Top, where rock and scrub rise like a final stand; then the Peach Orchard and the High-Water Mark, each place holding a specific turn in the battle.
