Itinerary: | |||||||
“We don’t stop hiking because we grow old – We grow old because we stop hiking.” – Finis Mitchel The hike will commence at 7:00 AM, so please plan to arrive by 6:55 AM for sign-in. You can park either at the new visitor parking lot on Old US Hwy 41 or at the main visitor center parking lot. If you choose the Old US Hwy 41 parking lot, allow a few extra minutes to walk to the visitor center. Don't forget your parking pass! We will gather just outside the visitor center for sign-in. The first part of our hike will cover 1.2 miles to the 1808 ft. summit of Kennesaw Mountain. The trail we're hiking is moderately difficult, featuring rocky, shaded, and steeply-pitched terrain. From the summit, we will traverse Little Kennesaw Mountain, cross Burnt Hickory Road for a brief rest, and then return over Little and Big Kennesaw Mountains to the visitor center. We plan to stay together as a group. One more thing...this hike is for fun-loving people and those who enjoy being around others. Some of us like to make jokes, tell stories, and have a good laugh. If you're easily offended or prefer a quiet walk in the park, this hike is probably not for you. You've been warned! A few notes: - Itinerary is subject to change before and during the event. - Parking Pass Required = $5 (Fees and Passes - Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park (U.S. National Park Service) (nps.gov)) - Please be flexible with finishing and start time. Things happen where our event may be longer or shorter. - If you're a Garmin user, please join our 'Atlanta Outdoor Club (AOC) Garmin Users' group to connect with other AOC Garmin users and track your activity.
