Itinerary:

Total Distance is about 16 miles. Pace will be moderate to fast - 3.0 mph to 3.5 mph. We'll power walk the hills and walk quickly, but comfortably in the flat sections. Not much elevation gain in the beginning. We'll save going over the mountains (800 feet elevation) till the end if everyone is up for it. We'll employ the "inchworm" technique of allowing the back to catch the front of the group at major itersections, road crossings, etc. Anyone who wants to turn around and shorten the distance is welcome to join us for the first part of the hike.

We'll be following this route on the link below (East and West trails) out to Kolb Farm and back to the visitors Center, We'll cross Little Kennesaw and Kennesaw Mtn on the way back.
