Itinerary:
Please join me for a "sister event" to the (HOTT) hike and trivia event at Kennesaw Mountain just simply called (HAT) for (H)ike (A)nd (T)rivia.  Look for future "HAT Trick Events" with 3 hike and trivia events all in one week (MWF).  :)

From the Visitor Center, we will hike over Kennesaw Mountain, Little Kennesaw Mountain, Pigeon Hill, and continue on the other side of Burnt Hickory Road until we reach Noses Creek.  After a brief stop, we will come back to the Visitor Center via the East-West Trail for a total of about 8.5 miles going at a moderate to semi-fast pace.

This is not a beginner hike as we will be trying to do this in less than 3 hours with only one or two stops.  However, this is not meant to be a workout hike either.  ;)

We will start the hike promptly at 4:30 pm and should be finished in about 150 minutes at 7:00 pm.

Afterward, please join me for the optional trivia portion of the event at "Keegans Public House" (678-213-2460) which is only a few miles away from the park at 7:30 PM.   Don't worry if you are not "good" at trivia.  It is just an excuse to socialize after a hike!  :)

When you sign up, please write in the note section whether you plan to attend the optional trivia portion or not so I know whether I need to reserve a large table for us.  Thank you.  :)
