Taylor Mountain’s network of trails rewards hikers with panoramic vistas of Santa Rosa and the Sonoma Valley, especially from the summit after a satisfying climb. The park is frequently lauded by Sonoma Magazine and the Press Democrat for its wildflower displays and sweeping grasslands, as well as its proximity to downtown Santa Rosa. As an independently managed regional park, Taylor Mountain is a favorite among locals who value its open space and tranquil atmosphere — a place where you can find both solitude and breathtaking scenery just minutes from the city.
