Itinerary:

Cheatham Hill to Kolb Farm Trails Loop 5 mil loop

Come join me on this historic hike at Kennesaw Mountain Battlefield Sunday afternoon.

This section traces a path across the Cheatham Hill Battlefield and through woods where Union troops once waited to assault the Rebel defenses. It descends across John Ward Creek before winding across forests and meadows to Powder Springs Road near the Kolb Farm, site of vicious fighting on June 22, 1864. The path then meanders through forests and shallow creek valleys on a return to the eastern side of Cheatham Hill.

It is kind of chilly outside but beautiful fall colors. Come hike with me today!
