Guided Hike: Explore Taylor Mountain Forest
Join Kira Telgen, the IATC’s Program and Volunteer Coordinator, for a Sunday morning stroll through the Taylor Mountain Forest. Arguably the quietest and humblest member of the Issaquah Alps, Taylor Mountain occupies over 1800 acres of land. Shared by hikers, bikers, and horses alike, Taylor Mountain is a working forest under the care of the DNR. We’ll spend the morning enjoying nicely forested trails and pleasant creeks. You can learn more about Taylor Mountain here.
