Itinerary:

Starting at the Visitor Center, we will summit the 3 peaks and then reverse direction and return to the Visitor Center.  This will be a group but if you are struggling with our pace you can complete the hike solo rather slow the group.  Just stop at intersection to ask passersby for directions.  The elevation gain and rugged terrain make this hike a D3.

Please note that Kennesaw requires a $5 Daily Pass or a $40 Annual Pass, which ceran 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.
