At the split stay to the right if you parked and started at Whittington Park. This is the end of the West Mountain Trail.

A view from the start of the Sunset Trail. The views from West Mountain are great.

The Mountain Trail is fairly wide and made of crushed rock and dirt. The trail is shaded, which makes it nice to hike in the afternoon.

Forested trail to the top of West Mountain then down the other side. I did an out-and-back early on a chilly morning. Loved it! 2.6mi

Not black diamond. Trail is steep but well traversed switchbacks make incline easy. It's well marked and great overhead coverage for shade.
