Itinerary:
Please join me at the Central Section of Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park for a Sunday morning hike on some of the less travelled trails. We will be hiking at a moderate 3.0 pace. There is some elevation but none of the hills are steep or too long.
 

This Central Section has a loop made up of several trails. The Hardage Mill Trail heading south from Burnt Hickory Road is a rolling hills trail through the woods across Noses Creek and then down to Dallas Highway. The Noses Creek Trail heading north from Dallas Highway back up to the New Salem Church Trail is less hilly but a nice hike in the woods. The New Salem Church Trail takes us up to Burnt Hickory Road where will take the Camp Brumby Trail to the Pigeon Hill Cutoff Trail. We will then hike down the Pigeon Hill Trail back to the Burnt Hickory Road parking lot.

Meet at the Burnt Hickory Road parking lot.     No BATHROOMS at this location.
 
Optional lunch at the West Cobb Diner (see Notes below). The West Cobb Diner is a casual cafe dishing up classic Southern favorites & sandwiches in a low-key, relaxed atmosphere.
 
PLEASE arrive by 8:45 am to get a parking space as the parking lot is not large. Also to give us time to socialize & have introductions. I will also share some of the history of the Central Section of Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park. Our hike will start promptly at 9:00am.
 
Come join me for an invigorating Sunday morning hike with an optional lunch afterwards.
