West Mountain, Hot Springs

This area is full of tourist in the summer time so care must be taken. There are many walking and hiking trails from the summit to all points on the Mountain. There are numerous secluded areas along the trails where outdoor meetings take place.

The guide

Where exactly

Follow Central Ave north to the large fountain in the median and turn left onto Whittington. Follow Whittington .7 miles to the sign pointing to left to West Mountain. This road will lead you to the summit where you can loop around and return down the mountain.

When to go

The park area is open daily from 7 AM to 10 PM. It seems to be an all day meeting point.

Etiquette

Just park in one of the "view observation" areas and watch for lone men to come by and/or park near you, Some people flash their brake lights to signal but I have not found that to be necessary. I have been there 3 times this week and have had great climaxes each time in different ways.

Nudity: There is NO open policy permitting or nudity in the park, however, it does happen especially during pretty weather on the walking trails.

Safety

I have never seen police up there with the exception of park workers and occasionally rangers. Normally you can hear vehicles coming up the mountain several turns away from the parking areas.

No restrooms, no privacy constant flow of heavy straight traffic in parking lot and on trails. Tourists, families, sightseers. National park rangers are federal cops. Getting busted here means facing a magistrate in federal district court.
