This trip was to help those scouts that needed the 5-mile hike to make Second Class rank. Six scouts and four adults were in attendance.We departed Leroy Springs Complex at around 9:30 after a pep talk from the scoutmaster (who did not accompany us on the trip) and took the Complex Tunnel trail around the elementary and middle schools. We then walked along the creek until we came to the Springfield Parkway...

Instead of doing the Pinnacle Trail - which is done by most - I chose to take the Crowder's Trail to the Rocktop Trail, which follows a ridgeline across Crowder's Mountain. There is rock scrambling involved. The Rocktop trail goes to the summit of Tower Hill and then to the Crowder's Mountain Overlook. I then went down the back on the Backside Trail, which rejoined the Crowder's Trail which I followed back...

We parked at the Nature Center and hiked along the Umbrella Tree Trail.
We missed the turn off and completed the loop...
