Itinerary:

The Kolb Farm Loop is a great place to get a fast hike in after work during warm summer days. It's mostly shaded with only a few hills.

Starting from the Cheatham Hill Rd./Recreation Area #3 Parking, we will follow the wide path which is partly shared by people riding horses (watch out for horse poop!). As we go deeper into the trail, we will see creeks, lush green grass, plants and hopefully some deer.

As we round the end of the trail, we will pass by the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Illinois Monument.

We will knock out the five mile loop at a pace of about 3 mph. Although the terrain is mostly flat, we will keep the pace up on the few hills that we do encounter.

There are no bathrooms at this location.

Please note that Kennesaw requires a $5 Daily Pass or a $40 Annual Pass, which can be purchased in the Visitor's Center, at an automated machine in the parking lot, or online. America the Beautiful National Parks Passes also can be used at Kennesaw.

We will start the hike promptly at 6:00pm, so please arrive early to meet everyone before the hike. Also, please allow extra time if you need to purchase a parking pass.

Disclaimer: I am a potential trip leader "PTL", so please bear with me as I still have my training wheels on!
