Itinerary:

(Tune of Farmer in the Dell) A hiking we will go, a hiking we will go, we'll go up and down, then all around a hiking we will go..... Those of you who saw my previous hike posted know where I am coming from on that. We will meet up and start at the Kennesaw National Battle Field Park visitors center. We will be taking a 5.5 counter clock wise trek on this trail, meaning we will be going up the front of Big Kennesaw, down Little Kennesaw to Pigeon Hill and then back around to the visitors center. This is a moderate so new hikers if you feel up to the challenge give it a try. 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.
