Itinerary:

Be aware that there are no restroom facilities at our starting point (Pigeon Hill Parking).

Let's take one last hike before Cinco de Mayo by taking a big loop and climbing Pigeon Hill, Little Kennesaw, and Big Kennesaw. Next, we will take a restroom break at the visitors center. We'll add distance by going around Kennesaw Mountain and forging onward to Noses Creek before returning to our cars at the Pigeon Hill Parking. This hike has 1334 feet of elevation gain and includes steep and rocky and rooty trail surfaces.

It's warming up so add electrolytes to your water and bring snacks to keep the energy up. Hiking poles are recommended.
