About Hueco Tanks — West Mountain

West Mountain is Restricted Access — guided access only (commercial guide, park volunteer, or ranger-led tour), same rules as East Mountain. Slightly higher in altitude than North (~1420m vs 1400m) but weather is effectively identical — this whole massif is one desert cell. Guide companies typically bundle West and East Spur into single-day itineraries in the calmer, quieter far corners of the park.
