Steve’s take
Free admission, incredible views from the top, and enough Civil War cannons to make your 8-year-old lose their mind. The hike to the summit is about a mile and it'll shake the car legs out of everybody. If you're ahead of schedule and the weather's good, this is a Griswold-approved detour. If you're behind schedule, wave at it from the highway.
