Itinerary:

Please join me for an invigorating hike on what promises to be Fall-like weather with sunny skies and crisp morning temps. We'll do a 7-mile loop hike at Kennesaw Mountain, starting and ending at the Pigeon Hill Parking Lot on Burnt Hickory Road.

Our Route: We'll cross the mountain at the beginning of the hike as we head toward the visitor center, doing the hardest part while we're fresh. We'll then loop around the mountain on the Camp Brumby Trail, cross Burnt Hickory Road again, and take the New Salem Church Trail back to the parking lot.

What to Expect: This event is rated a D3. Elevation gain will be about 1,200-1,300 feet and our moving pace will be brisk, approaching about 3 mph on average. We'll go slower on the mountain climb/descent but pick up the pace a bit on the route back. We'll generally stay together, with brief rest/hydration/regrouping breaks as needed.

Logistics: There are no restrooms at the trailhead but we'll pass them at the visitor center. There is drinking water available at both the trailhead and the visitor center.

Required Items to Bring:

- Good hiking shoes
