Itinerary:

The hike starts at the visitor center.  We will follow the Indian Seats Trail and cross Bettis-Tribble Rd to the Mountainside Trail. We will gain some elevation and distance by hiking the Church Trail, then finish the Mountainside loop to the Hilltop Trail.

We will cross Bettis-Tribble again and take a lunch break at the restroom area before continuing on the Indian Seats Trail. We'll stop at the Indian Seats overlook and then return to the visitor center.

We will hike at an approximate speed of 2.7 - 2.9 mph.  Due to the length of the hike and likely warm weather conditions, we will keep a steady pace and hike fairly close together.
