In 30 to 45 minutes - depending on the route you take - you can make it to the top of Kennesaw Mountain. From there enjoy views of the entire city, including Stone Mountain. Although Stone Mountain always provides breathtaking views, what's better about Kennesaw Mountain is A the variety of trails B the lack of Confederate Flags and C the fact you can bring your dogs along to enjoy the hike. This is true wilderness hiking so make sure you bring a water bottle for yourself and a water bowl for your puppy. You can climb quite challenging steep paths or take the easier route by walking up the paved road from the Visitor's Center. However you get there be sure to take lots of photos at the top.
