Please join me for a hike at Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park.

We will hike over Big Kennesaw, Little Kennesaw, and Pigeon Hill to Burnt Hickory Road and then turn around and go back the way we came. We will take a hydration break at Burnt Hickory and as needed.

This is a moderate paced D4 hike 1600+ feet elevation gain. This is a challenging hike with rocky/rooty terrain and the elevation gain. We will stay together as a group and regroup if we get separated.
