There are two out and back hiking trails to House Mountain . Hikers can choose between the Little House Mountain Trail, which clocks in at 8.75 miles round trip, or the Big House Mountain Trail, which ironically is shorter and measures approximately 6 miles. Both trails are scenic and pretty, with overlooks viewing the surrounding area, but they do both feature a hefty elevation gain of about 2,850 feet, so hikers should be prepared by bringing lots of water and taking their time on the trail. The scenic overlooks at the summit are a great place to enjoy a snack or some lunch, or at the very least a short rest, before heading back down the trail.
