If you didn’t print a map of the mountain grab one at the visitor center.

If you are coming out of the main entrance of the Visitors center, head towards the left on the walking path to an intersection with a water fountain.

Start at the water fountain.
Section 1: (Blue Line) Visitor Center to the Illinois Monument around the mountain. Follow the trail that the water fountain is on into the woods. This trail will lead around the mountain and will turn into service road (gravel wide enough for a pickup). Within the first 5-10 minutes you will come to your first intersection that has a sign pointing back where you came that says - Visitor Center. At this intersection head left. There are several other trail intersections within the first couple of miles, keep right and you will get where you need to go. Once the trail
turns to service road it will remain service road until you cross Burnt Hickory Road, remember this because there is one trail that turns right off the road, and you don't want to take the trail. Cross over Burnt Hickory Rd and follow the trail on the other side. It will eventually lead you to the main trail between Pigeon Hill and Cheatham Hill. Follow the main trail south to Cheatham hill and the Illinois Monument.  At the Illinois monument answer this question

Question 1. How many years after the battle did veterans erect this memorial?

Section 2: (Yellow Line) Cheatham Hill to Kolb Farm Loop
From the Illinois monument, head West along the trail that goes down the hill, across the field, and into the woods. This trail will lead you to the activity/parking area. Find the sign titled McCooks Brigade and answer this question. 

Question 2. What was the date that Cheatham Withdrew?

Pick up the trail at the south end of the parking lot and head right. As you approach the south end of the loop you will enter a bamboo grove. You will eventually cross a road and enter a field where you will find a plaque on the ground titled Kolb Farm Attack. Answer the following question.

Question 3. What numbers appear on this plaque? Write down every number on the plaque, there should be 6.

Continue along the trail for a couple of miles until you cross over the stream with a bridge. At the intersection go whichever direction you want, one way is steeper, one way is longer, but they both merge within a couple of hundred yards. At the trail intersection with the bench head right, this will take you to the Cheatham Hill parking lot.

Section 3: (Purple Line)Cheatham Hill parking area to Visitors Center over the mountain.
Head out of the parking lot along the road and pick up the trail on the left side of the road just after you leave the parking lot area. This trail parallels the road until you hit Dallas Highway. Head North following the main trail across Dallas Highway and Burnt Hickory Rd. Get ready for an uphill climb because that’s what you get to enjoy until you hit the top of the Kennesaw Mountain.

Question 4. How many Cannons are lined up along the trail between Pigeon Hill and The Kennesaw Mountain viewing/parking area? 

Head down the mountain along the trail and to the visitor center.

Stop at the water fountain.
