Itinerary:

Come join me for a Hike over Kennesaw, Little Kennesaw and Pigeon Hill.

We will start from the Pigeon Hill Trailhead and reach KMNBP Visitor Center by Camp Brumby Trail. We will take a short bio break here and start our climb to Kennesaw. We will take another short break on top of Kennesaw. We will further go over Little Kennesaw and follow the trail to get back to the parking lot. We will be hiking as a group as there are multiple intersections.

We will be hiking at a moderate pace ranging 2.2 to 2.8 miles depending on the terrain - gentle speed on the hills and faster otherwise. We might average around 2.5 miles overall. If you are not familiar hiking this distance/speed, this might not be the hike for you. The total elevation gain would be around 1100ft.

This hike might be rescheduled if there is rainy weather.

Pls arrive at 7.20am for introductions and Directions for the hike. We will start hiking at 7.30 am. If you are buying the day pass, pls plan to allow time for the same.

This is a smaller parking lot. So, allow enough time to park before the hike.
