OK, Hilke & I have been a bit lazy since returning from Peru, so we're going back to our training mountain.
***The hike will start at 12:00 noon so please plan on meeting around 11:50 AM to sign in. . Kennesaw Mountain National Battefield Park is a fantastic area for intown hiking and fitness training. . We will start at the Visitors Center and hike the 1.2 miles to the 1808 ft. top of Kennesaw Mountain. From there, we will head across and down Little Kennesaw Mountain. We'll stop at the outer loop trail, and then return to the Visitor Center hiking back over Little and Big Kennesaw Mountains. . The total hiking distance is about 5 miles with minimum rest breaks. We used to do this hike in 1 hour and 38 minutes, but today we'll go a little slower and do it in about 2 hours and 15 minutes. | |||||||
