It is in Corryton on Hogskin Rd., which is approx 14 miles from Halls. The overlook is over the beautiful Corryton community. Lots of pics from my recent hike there: http://tinyurl.com/knoxtrivia I agree, House Mountain is great, however, it is not in Halls, it’s closer to Gibbs.

Located in Halls, a twenty minute drive from downtown Knoxville is all it takes to get to what may be the best urban hiking area in the country. It features a couple miles of trails along with two really nice overlooks, one facing south, the other overlooking Halls. Here's <a href="http://michaelwender.com/2008/05/24/house-mountain-hike/" rel="nofollow">a shot of a friend and me</a> from overlook that faces Halls.

I went to Spence Field via the Anthony Creek trail last year, and it stands out as a favorite. Bet its beautiful up there right now. I prefer the hikes that remain fairly empty.

Leconte is choice. Personlly, I would take the path less traveled to any of the beautiful balds to view a crowded Cades Cove from up above. I agree with bc knoxify. Leconte is choice.

Leconte is the best if you get a nice day. Leaves is cades code, or one of the balds. Viewing the leaves...hmm great views everywhere even on I-40 Mt. Leconte is the best if you get a nice day.
