Itinerary:

(Tune of Farmer in the Dell) A hiking we will go, a hiking we will go, we'll go around then up then down, a hiking we will go..... ok now that I got that out of my system. We will meet up and start at the Kennesaw National Battle Field Park visitors center. We will be taking a 5.5 clock wise trek on this trail, meaning we will be going up the back areas of Pigeon Hill to Little Kennesaw then up to Big Kennesaw where we will make our way back down the visitors center. Because of the direction we are taking This is a moderate to semi strenuous hike, and not one for first time hikers. The beauty of this hike is you will not only get in your morning exercise...you will have the rest of the day to plan other activities.
