Devil's Den
A hill of huge granite boulders, the site of fierce fighting on the second day and a famous battlefield photograph location with a reputation for ghosts.
Devil's Den is a jumble of boulders on the western side of Little Round Top. On the second day of the battle, Confederate soldiers from Texas and Alabama and Union troops fought back and forth here. The photographer Gardner captured the famous image 'Home of a Rebel Sharpshooter' here. Visitors can climb among the boulders to take photos, and Little Round Top is directly opposite. Parking is limited and fills up in the afternoon during peak season. The rocks can be slippery, so take care with children. Entry is free.
