Perfect for those who want to get away from the crowds and casually hike through forest and meadows with little elevation gain. A great hike for the entire family.

Continue uphill for another two miles and climb to the summit of Taylor Mountain (10,352) where you'll scramble over rocks and possibly snow to the summit marker. A great hike for those looking for a good challenge.

We'll climb to the summit of Taylor Mountain as described above then continue for another seven miles, eventually descending into Moose Creek at 6,800 feet.
