Ready to take your hiking game up a notch? ⛰️ Join Knox County Parks & Recreation for our House Mountain Challenge on November 22nd! Russell Fulcher with the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation’s Division of Natural Areas will lead us on this journey, sharing the natural wonders and the stories that make this park so special.We’ll meet at 7:30 AM for a quick briefing and group stretch before hitting the trail at 8 AM. During this approximately 3-4 hour hike, we will make our way up the West Overlook Trail and along the Crest Trail before heading back down the mountain. The climb will take some effort, but the views from the top and the feelings of accomplishment make it worth the work!
We’ll provide snacks and water, but we always recommend bringing extra to keep you fueled and hydrated along the way. Pack a lunch to enjoy at the summit and get ready to push yourself. Our staff will be there to support the group along the way and help anyone who needs extra time or assistance. Take it at your own pace, encourage your fellow hikers and enjoy the journey to the top!
🎒 Registration is required! Everyone who registers will also receive a commemorative prize and a special Knox County Parks & Recreation goody bag! Registration is $8 per person.
⚠️ Please note: House Mountain is a strenuous hike with steep sections and rocky, uneven terrain. This challenge is best suited for experienced hikers or those prepared for a more demanding trail. Take your time, watch your footing and know your limits. YOU CAN DO IT!
