Itinerary:

We will meet at the Pigeon Hill parking lot at Burnt Hickory road. There are no bathroom facilities on this hike. The group will head north up Pigeon Hill and take the first cutoff to the East Trail and continue North. We will take an unofficial cutoff trail and climb the Southeast face of the mountains. This will put our group into a saddle between Big and Little Kennesaw! Then we will head South take the first cut off trail and finish with New Salem Church. This includes.... Noses and Hardage Mill on a clockwise direction in order to finish the second loop, heading back the cars.
