Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park

There is different levels of hiking for those who want an easy walk and those who want more of a work out. Sometimes you can see the deer that live in the park !

The Visitors Center is powered by SOLAR! Walk behind the building (towards trails ) and look up at the roof.

Nice park and PLENTY of trail . Best gps tag where you park just in case! And beware of closing hours so your vehicle isn't locked in.

Trails , open fields , scenic views . Kennesaw mountain has it all. Great national park right here in the Atlanta area.

The view from the top of the mountain is amazing on a clear day...you can see all the way to downtown ATL !

Looking for a challenge? Hike up this mountain . Want a bigger challenge? Run up the paved road to the top! Don't forget to run the stairs at the very top!

We went and inside the visitor center there is an museum

Friend was missing after hours, the ranger moved in slow motion spending more time giving warnings than getting me to a phone so I could call and make sure she was OK. Dick.

If you are able, take the trail down the backside of Little Kennesaw Mt. and back around. The view was beautiful.
