Hike up Kennesaw Mountain

Hike up Kennesaw Mountain

Last Saturday in the midst of our annual snow day event, we decided to hike up Kennesaw Mountain with some friends. We met them at their home at "The Gates at Parkside Village".

This is a fairly new complex of beautiful townhomes, located right across the street from Kennesaw Mountain Battlefield National Park.  We were able to walk out of the complex and get on the trail directly  the street. It was pretty slick from the ice and snow so it was a pretty good workout to make it to the top of the mountain.  I know when you take the trail from the visitors center to the top it is right at a 1 mile hike each way.  I suspect that it was just about the same from our starting point.

We made it to the top with little problem, other than I'm out of shape :-).  It was a cool crip day and the views were spectacular!
