Description

Added by Davis Coulter

This picturesque getaway is less than 30 minutes east of Knoxville

House Mountain is a short, at times strenuous hike that is doable in all weather conditions. Going at different times of year can be a treat due to the unique beauty of each season adding some spice to this quick trip. There are 5-7 switchbacks to push through, but the view atop House Mountain among the lichen covered ridgeline is a worthy reward. The rolling hills of north Knoxville farmland and the foliage paint the heart & soul of the East Tennessee identity. On a clear day, you can see all the way to the Smoky Mountains - though the best views are north. Parking is a snap at the trailhead welcome center off of Hogskin Road, which also has picnic tables and a rustic outhouse.

I have hiked House Mountain 4 times now and my favorite spot is the East Overlook. The view is amazing and totally worth the hike! I definitely recommend going up there this spring for some awesome photos. 📸

Photograph the Maynardville Fire Tower

The maynardville fire tower is one that anyone can go too since you can drive straight to the base of it. From the base however there are about 100 steep stairs to the top. On the way up you will need to be extra careful because it is very old and was never built for safety. When you get to the top there are a few good platforms to stand on. The top of the fire tower or the cab is however locke...
