About Mountain Top Trail

This trail links Whittington Park with the network of paths that wrap around West Mountain above Hot Springs. Hikers coming from the south face a steep start, while those heading north climb steadily before a steep drop back down to the park. Joined with Canyon Trail and West Mountain Trail, it forms a loop around the mountain and crosses Sunset Trail partway along.
