Description

Hovering over the small town of Corryton, Tennessee, is House Mountain: Knox County’s highest peak and likely its most beautiful outdoor spot. Supposedly so named for the roof-like slant of its twin summits, House is home to a wide array of blossoming flowers, climbing vines, and waving trees, including the high-limbed, thick-trunked tulip poplar, Tennessee’s state tree.
House Mountain is a wonderful hiking destination year-round and offers something a little different in every season. In the summer, the shaded trail grants a pleasant respite from the heat, and visitors in these more humid months will often be treated to a pleasant breeze rolling across the summit’s rock outcroppings. Along the trailhead, at the base of the mountain, you will come across a sweet treat during the summer months…Blackberries were growing along the West Overlook Trail.
