Reviews
A steady, moderate to strenuous, hike that climbs 2044 feet in 3.2 miles to the summit of Mt. Taylor at 11,301 feet. The trail begins around 9,300 feet in the Cibola National Forest with mixed pines and aspens. Climbs steadily up canyon for half a mile, passing Gooseberry Spring on the left. May or may not be flowing. It breaks through the forest and crosses a mountain meadow with sweeping views to the west and south. Crossing a saddle, the trail hangs above the deep Rinconado Canyon in the open. Across another saddle the trail switchbacks northward and upward across a steep grassy slope. A final quarter mile rocky stretch leads to the summit of Mt. Taylor at 11,301 feet.

Great, not too challenging trail. Take it to Mt Taylor for awesome views.
