Great hike. It was fairly moderate, but the pitch up the hill can be rough if you arent in shape. It is a fun hike. We enjoyed a nice loop by going up Gooseberry Springs and then coming down the ridge and back up the road to the parking lot.

Lovely moderate level hike. Well defined trail. Switch backs up to the summit. Needed a wind breaker along the ridge and summit. But well worth the effort, spectacular views!! 6.5 miles elevation 11,301 - the 10 Essentials - don’t leave home without them!!

Good trail, pretty difficult/steep climb, but good view at the top. The aspens were turning colors - making the climb so beautiful.

This a great hike, a bit challenging but with big rewards of super views. About 7 miles round trip, from 9200 ft elevation at the trailhead to 11300 at the summit.

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 hike up to Mount Taylor, lots of water (outside of a very dry season), lots of berry bushes and aspens
