Kennesaw Mountain

Kennesaw Mountain is a high-running ridge between Marietta and Kennesaw, Georgia in the United States with a summit elevation of 1,808 feet (551 m). It is the highest point in the core (urban and suburban) metro Atlanta area, and fifth after further-north exurban counties are considered. The local terrain averages roughly 1,000 feet (300 m) AMSL.

The mountain actually has two summits:

  • "Big Kennesaw", where the modern-day parking area and scenic overlook are located
  • Little Kennesaw Mountain, where several light hiking trails and nature areas connect the mountains to the rest of the park

Famous quotes containing the word mountain:

    The mountain throws a shadow,
    Thin is the moon’s horn;
    What did we remember
    Under the ragged thorn?
    Dread has followed longing,
    And our hearts are torn.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
