Taylor Mountain Regional Park

I appreciate the added trails to this mountain and thank you to the Sonoma County regional Parks for their work. I had not been here in a while as there were not many trails before. The views are always quite nice. Be mindful where you step as we almost stepped on a rattler today as it was basking in the sun. The gravel road up to the park has so many dips in it you have to drive extremely slow to traverse it safely. Plenty of parking spots.

Trails are maintained well enough. Close to town with easy access and two entrances with plenty of parking. Disc golf course off the Kawana entrance. Not many flat trails from either entrance-- mostly up, just at varying degrees. Views are nice from both entrances. From Kawana you can take in views of the east side of the mountain which is fewer houses, but can't see as far. Lots of lizards. Sometimes even cows! Dog friendly but keep them on a leash. Watch for snakes in the hot months (rare, but sometimes you'll see them.) Plenty of trails to get in a good workout. If you're looking for something more difficult, go to Hood Mountain. If you're looking for something easier, check out Crane Creek down the road, or Sonoma Valley Regional Park outside Glen Ellen. Enjoy!

Great park with well maintained trails shaded by beautiful oak trees. There is nice/moderate elevation gain on most trails so be prepared with some water & sunscreen if it’s warm out. The park is very popular especially on weekends and the parking lot fills up fast so get there early. Many people walking their dogs and a few mountain bikers as well.🤗

A great open hike with many different opportunities for different fitness levels plus this park is dog friendly!! This was a very busy park but you still felt like you were out hiking alone at the same time. There were numerous routes that ranged from a slow incline to very steep ones so people from all fitness levels are able to enjoy the prettiness of the area. Our favorite part was the super friendly cows that came right up to us and then followed us a part of the way. It was definitely the curious young ones who did but our dog even enjoyed getting up nose to nose to them. Definitely watch out for the big poop mounds along the trail but it was still fun. A great moderate hike.

Fantastic hike to the summit. First time here and loved it! Look forward to coming back and seeing the views from the summit, unfortunately we had fog roll in and could not see the landmarks at the top. The park has something for everyone, disk golf , horse back ridding, hiking. All skill levels. Parking is $7.00.

Moderate hike, well worth every bit. I love the scenery. Trees, birds, lizards, and cows! The cows are my favorite part. They were so comfortable with me.

Such a beautiful park 😁. Parking is 7$ can pay with cash or card. We took the Western trail and went off trail a bit to go up the mountain and found this bench where we saw the sunset! It’s easy to achieve high altitude in short time :)

Loved this hike. It took about an hour to do a loop. Saw lots of cows and some really nice views. The parking area is a little sketchy. When we were leaving the cops were arresting some guy. So probably don't leave anything visible in your car.
