Description
Join a ranger for a special walking tour on Chinn Ridge where some of the final fighting of the first major land battle of the Civil War took place on July 21, 1861 and Oliver Otis Howard's New Englanders squared off against men under the command of Jubal Early and Arnold Elzy.
This walk will be along an exposed and very sunny section of Chinn Ridge. Make sure to carry water and apply sunscreen.
