The fields of flowers are the most “outstanding” items of the Wilderness Battlefield. The Virginia Civil War battlefields are great places to walk your dog and hike. I remember the Wilderness Battlefield as a dangerous place to pull over to see places on the battlefield. Watch out for traffic as you pull over to park your car.
