Itinerary:

For this hike we are meeting in the parking lot at the top of Kennesaw Mountain.  The plan is to hike down to Burnt Hickory and then all the way to the visitors center.  Then we can either resummit Kennesaw by the paved road or by the trail.    The descent to the visitors center will be optional depending on how much time we have.  But the idea is to see the sunset to the west of Kennesaw with all of our cars proximately in place for convenient get away.

***I would suggest for participants to plan on entering the park by 4:30 pm, and to be ready to hike at 5:00 pm or shortly there after.  This route typically takes 1 hour 30 minutes, hiking moderately.***

How to Get There:
Event Directions:Directions and Parking: 1) I-75 North to exit 267B Hwy 5 Canton Road Connector 2) If you are not heading west after getting off of the Interstate you are going the wrong way. You should be heading towards US 41 and downtown Marietta after getting off of I-75 onto the Canton Road Connector and see Kennesaw Mountain on your right. 3) You will be tempted to take the first exit off of the Canton Road Connector which is US 41, but do not take it. Proceed over US 41 on a bridge staying on the Canton Road Connector. 4) After crossing US 41 take a right at the first redlight which is Church Street Extension. 5) You should cross railroad tracks soon. 6) Take a left onto Old 41 at the second redlight. If you get to US 41 again, you have missed the turn onto Old 41 so turn around. 7) Stay on Old US 41 until you pass in front of the mountain and go through the light at Stilesboro Road and the parking lot is a few hundred yards down on your left.
