    Hiking

    Big House Mountain stands at 3,645-feet and is a great, challenging peak for anyone looking for an adventure. This is the taller of the two peaks that make up House Mountain. The challenging, steep trail is fairly easy to follow, thanks to some recent trail work, but is unblazed. There is a shelter for camping a few miles below the summit on the saddle between Little House and Big House Mountains, making it a great destination for an overnight trip.

    Hiking

    It's a very nice hike with the steepest incline at the end. Beware especially the last stretch between goat point and the Big house mountain outlook leads trough pretty heavy undergrowth. The trail at this point is well marked although not always well noticeable on the ground and ticks are all around. The overlook is not at the top of the mountain as the pictures on the komoot map make believe. It is all the way at the end of the marked trail even further than what komoot indicates. Because of that we unfortunately missed it.
