West Mountain to Sugarloaf
West Mountain, Music Mountain, and Sugarloaf Mountain join together to form a large horseshoe-shaped ridge in the western half of the park. Sunset Trail runs along the ridgetop while Whittington Creek winds its way through the valley below. Spectacular views of the City of Hot Springs can be seen, especially from Music Mountain, the highest point in the park at 1405 feet.
