Kennesaw Mountain *Cheatham Hill Road to Pigeon Hill* LOOP

Join me for a fun hike at Kennesaw National Battlefield Park!

This is a great hike! This is a modest trail with a good mix of trail terrain's and types. We will encounter wide multi-use trails where we will likely share the path with horses and also find much of the trail to be the more common single track style. We will also encounter hills and relatively flat conditions.

The trail takes us from the parking lot on Cheatham Hill ROAD over to the Illinois Monument. From there we will head

North towards Pigeon Hill crossing over Dallas Highway (Hwy 120) and Burnt Hickory Road NW. This section has the most "multi-use" trails. Our return hike will be mostly single track and is where we will encounter more hills and mountain like conditions.  

We’ll hike about 7.0 miles.  We’ll make a stop or two along the way but I hope to complete the hike in about 3 hours which puts us at a good pace.

Approximate Distance: 7 Miles

Duration:  3–3.5 Hours

Average Speed: 2.75-3.25mph.  (Not a D1 or D2 Speed)

 *Important*

Our hike departs at 1:30PM.  Those who arrive on time will join our hike and have loads of fun! Those who are late may not get to join our hike and thus not have loads of fun.  If you are running late CALL ME and I'll do what I can.  

- Parking is limited. You are advised to arrive early in case you need to wait for a parking spot.

- Some people have encountered difficulties following driving directions from smart phones or the web. I have provided an address that according to Google Maps is accurate and will get you to the correct parking lot. At worst, your choice of navigation device, gadget, and/or application will put you within 1/4 (0.25) mile of the parking lot where using your advanced brain powers can complete your navigation.  Here is the address again just in case.
