Description
Fredericksburg & Spotsylvania National Military Park will once again combine health and history with a new series of “Fit-History” hikes this fall. These ranger-led hikes are designed to cover a lot of ground in addition to a lot of history. Including shorts stops for rest and history, we try to average 2 miles per hour. All hikes begin at 10 a.m.
April 20: Ecology of “The Wilderness” (2.5 miles)
The plants, animals, and natural resources found within the Wilderness Battlefield have a story to tell. Join ranger Becca Jameson to hike through “The Wilderness” and listen to what nature tells us about the area’s history. Meet at Hill-Ewell Drive Picnic area between Tour Stops #3 and #4, Wilderness Battlefield (GPS Coordinates: 38.310931, -77.751347)
When attending any of our Fit-History programs, please remember to wear sturdy shoes, bring plenty of water, and pack a snack. Bug spray and long pants are also suggested.
