No Agua Peak West is the highest of the No Agua Peaks. These peaks are actively mined for Perlite so plan your hike on a Sunday, that's when the mine shuts down and no one is around. While there is direct road from US-285 to the peaks, its not accessible to the public so the access point is a signed BLM road near mile marker 387 on US-285, north of Tres Piedras. The attached GPX file is for the road route from US-285 to the base of No Agua Peak East. The access road has some rough spots so a high clearance vehicle is recommended assuming dry road conditions. About the hike: I parked off a road near the south end of No Agua Peak East, then hiked directly toward its HP. Then hiked to the North peak and finally this peak taking a fairly direct path to each. While there is a road network that goes close to all the summits I didn't make much use of it until I came off West peak. Total distance was 4.7 miles, elevation gain over 1400 ft and 2 hours 30 minutes total time.
