Devil's Den Closure

[Gettysburg Guide #154]

Please check out this announcement on the NPS website for the Gettysburg National Military Park. My reading of it suggests that the roads will mostly be open, but the area in the and among the boulders of Devil's Den will be closed beginning March 21 for about 5 to 6 months. The announcement can be found at

I saw that yesterday. I was a little surprised since I hadn't heard of any closures of Devil's Den, unlike what's been discussed about Little Round Top. Is it just the Den itself or the area of the Triangular Field as well?

I believe notice said the triangular field and slaughter pen areas would remain open and accessible..

I'm glad I visited there, this past weekend. I noted the LRT closure notice, but did not see anything for Devil's Den. I sincerely hope the projects are completed much sooner than the estimates. Many trees in the area have already been removed, and partially because of winter and the tree removal, the views are infinitely better, particularly between the Round Tops and from Big Round Top towards Devil's Den.
