Itinerary:

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.  On the way back will be self-paced.  

We will take a hydration break at the 1 mile marker, Burnt Hickory and as needed.

This is a moderate paced 2.6+mph D4 hike 1600+ feet elevation gain. This is a challenging hike with rocky/rooty terrain and the elevation gain. To receive credit, you must complete hike in 2 1/2 hours.

You must have recent strong AOC D3 or greater experience to participate in this hike.  You must also be familiar with the trail as the 2nd half of hike is self paced.  If you do not have this experience with the club, you will be moved to the waitlist.  Please send comparable hiking stats.  Trip leader will reach out to make sure hike is a good fit for you.

We will meet in front of the visitor center. Please plan accordingly to arrive at the hike 10-15 minutes early so we can start the hike on time.
