Itinerary: | |||||||
Join me Saturday morning for a hike at Kennesaw Mountain National Park. You need to have extensive recent AOC D3 hiking experience! If I move you to the waiting list, that means that you did not meet the requirements for the hike. However, if you contact me and explain why you think you can do this hike, I may move you back to the list. We will start at the Visitor's Center. Please note that the group will spread out depending on the experience level and the speed of the individual hiker. This hike is designed so you can walk with members of the group or by yourself depending on your speed and preference. If you sign up, you should be comfortable to hike at a moderate pace (2.7 - 2.9 mph) and complete the hike within the time specified. In order to get credit for the hike, you will have to hike all of the 6 miles without any shortcuts. We will start at the Visitor's Center and hike up and across Big and Little Kennesaw Mountains down to Burnt Hickory Road. We turn around and go back the same way we came. Please arrive with enough time to account for possibly having to park at the overflow parking lot or get your parking pass. It takes about 10-12 minutes to walk from the big parking lot to the visitor's center. We will start the hike on time. While there is a water fountain at the visitor's center and in the Parking Lot at Burned Hickory Road, make sure you have plenty of water. | |||||||
