West Mountain Trail

We made it to the top of Summit Trail. It is the highest point in Garland County! My brother, Jeff had wanted to hike to the top for several years.nDetermined to accomplish that goal, especially since I had traveled from Houston after a long quarantine, we made time for this adventure. It was great and well worth our efforts.nWearing masks the entire time helps build stamina! Go for it!

It was our first visit to Hot Springs, Arkansas. Took the Sunset Trail on a sunday morning to past some time and ended up taking a 2 hr stroll. Lol. On this morning the trail had some fog that hadn't lifted yet so we took lots of photos which is why it turned into a longer walk than planned. Trail was so quiet that you could only hear the drew and leaves drop though the trees. Since it was a Sunday we even heard the church bells ringing nearby. The only wildlife we saw was a deer at the beginning of the trail. Trail is easy to walk. Mountain rock exposes itself through the woods and on the trail. There was also fallen trees and moss growing along the trail.

Beautiful. Saw only one piece of trash the whole hike. Pretty much at an incline or decline the entire time. Wear some hard shoes. Tennis shoes were a bit too weak for this hike. Saw lots of deer. Lovely time.

Excellent trail, fun switchbacks and hills. Easy to spot a few deer in the morning.

Beautiful way to spend extra time, or just a simple getaway...
