Taylor Mountain 2.0

This Jeep trail is easy enough to run in either direction, but we prefer to run it from the west, then do Pride of the West Tunnel.

The County road starts out as a smooth, wide road leading to an active limestone quarry.  This trail turns off just before the quarry.  Be cautious of trucks.

Skirt the quarry and head uphill.

There is a GPS - gpx track at the bottom of the page.

Shelf road

There are side roads to explore and views to enjoy.

Monarch Pass in the distance

Drop down the hill and pass by an old cabin, then enjoy looking toward Poncha Springs.
