    Tips

    July 30, 2024

    Goat Point, or Goat Overlook, is a scenic, rocky outcropping that offers panoramic views just a short distance from the summit of Big House Mountain. The short spur trail to Goat Point is just before a rock canyon on a ridge and Tabletop Rock, a huge slab of rock precariously balanced on another. Goat Point gets its name from a local goat actually used to live on the mountain and would look for handouts from hikers around the 2010s. Sadly, the goat has not been seen for some time, but the overlook named after it is a fantastic spot to stop at as you make your way to the summit.
