Pigeon Hill

About

Pigeon Hill is a summit of 1,255 feet in Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park in Georgia, about 2.8 miles from Marietta. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Mableton show October highs around 71°F with lows near 51°F, and April highs around 72°F. That station sits a few hundred feet lower than the summit, so temperatures on top run a little cooler. Several trails start close by. Pigeon Hill Cutoff is about 0.1 mile away, and Little Kennesaw Trail and East Trail are each about 0.2 mile off. Climbers can head to Butler Creek Boulders, roughly 6.9 miles away.
