Itinerary:

We will do an enhanced version of Sawnee Mountain Preserve to get more miles and more elevation.  The hike starts at the Visitor Center at 4075 Spot Road.  We visit Indian Seats TWICE.

We leave from the 4075 Spot Road location and head up the high trail to Indian Seats for a drive by then down to the restrooms on Bettis Tribble Gap Road.  Then we cross Bettis Tribble Gap Road to secton three of the park and do a modified figure eight that includes the cross cut trail and the church trail.

After a stop at the the section three pavilion for a snack/lunch we cross Bettis Tribble Gap again and go up to Indian Seats before heading back to the Visitors Center on the low trail.

The hike should be 13 miles and about 2500' of elevation gain.
