"The last time I was there one of the park rangers told me their biggest issues in the coming years is going to be parking during the summer months."

Which is one of the reasons I've always preferred going to Gettysburg in the middle of the winter. You practically have the battlefields to yourself. No crowds, no traffic.

“I’ve always preferred going to Gettysburg in the middle of the winter.”

I go very year (except this year) about one week before the anniversary. Also, I go during the week to avoid crowds.
I like for the weather conditions to be as close as possible to what the soldiers experienced.
Of course, I’m only an hour away so I can go on a spur of the moment.
