An Ancient River In A Modern City

Today the river valley attracts us for so many reasons. Take a solitary walk to enjoy nature’s display, raft leisurely through the rocky shoals with friends, fish the misty waters as the sun comes up, or have a picnic on a Sunday afternoon. Get Outdoors and experience your Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area as you have never done before.

After a great morning hiking at Kennesaw NP with the dogs we decided to cool them off with a refreshing swim at Chattahoochee NRA. Took in the Visitors center that did not offer much as they were in the middle of a remodel then headed to the river. The girls enjoyed there swim and we got to spot more wildlife and birds. Real enjoyed the peace and quiet of this area.

One Last Mountain: A Battlefield That's Much More

Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park is a 2,965 acre National Battlefield that preserves a Civil War battleground of the Atlanta Campaign. Opposing forces maneuvered and fought here from June 19, 1864 until July 2, 1864. Although most famous as a Civil War battlefield, Kennesaw Mountain has a much richer story.

Today us and the dogs made a trip to Kennesaw Mountain. We took in the Visitors Center and a movie. We then got brave and made the hike up to the top with the dogs in tow. They loved the hike up till we told them now we get to go back down, no dogs allowed on the shuttle bus. We had a great day for the hike but we were wore out by time we got back to the Visitors Center. We really enjoy hiking with Lizzy but we know there not going to be many more with her.

Spent a brisk morning at the Kennesaw Mountain NBP. Took a shuttle bus up to the top of Kennesaw Mountain and got to take in some views of Atlanta and the surrounding area. After my time at the top of the mountain I was feeling brave and walked the trail back down to the VC. Lot's of people out hiking the trails and most had there dogs with them.
