Join me Saturday morning for a hike at Kennesaw Mountain National Park. You need to have solid recent AOC D3 hiking experience! We will start at the Visitor's Center Please note that the group will spread out depending on the experience level and the speed of the individual hiker. This hike is designed so you can walk with the group or by yourself, if you know the trail. If you sign up, you should be comfortable to hike at a moderate pace (2.7 - 2.9 mph) and complete the hike within the time specified. If during the hike you feel you cannot complete the total 6 miles, you are welcome to turn around and return to the visitor's center. Just let me know. In order to get credit for the hike, you will have to hike all of the 6 miles. We will start at the Visitor's Center and hike across Big and Little Kennesaw Mountains down to Burnt Hickory Road. We turn around and go back the same way we came. Please arrive with enough time to account for possibly having to park at the overflow parking lot or get your parking pass. It takes about 10-12 minutes to walk from the big parking lot to the visitor's center. We will start the hike on time. While there is a water fountain at the visitor's center and in the Parking Lot at Burned Hickory Road, make sure you have plenty of water since it is already very humid out. | |||||||

There is a $5.00 parking fee Please make sure that you have ample time to walk from the overflow parking lot to the visitor's center (8 min) in order to be on time for the hike. We will not wait for latecomers, but call me in case you encounter troubles finding a parking spot. Bathroom facilities are available at the visitor's center which opens the outer doors at 7:30 Link to the trail map http://www.nps.gov/kemo/planyourvisit/upload/KEMO%20trail%20map.pdf * We encourage all members to follow our Etiquette Guidelines while participating in AOC events. | |||||||
