Taylor Mountain Regional Park is a prominent Santa Rosa landmark, providing panoramic views of the city and distant peaks. The park’s 1,100 acres include sweeping grasslands, oak woodlands, several creeks, and habitat for a variety of wildlife. The park also has 5.5 miles of unpaved trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding, and an 18-hole disc golf course. Two routes – the Eastern and Western Routes – lead to the mountain’s mid-section, with the Eastern Route continuing on to the summit for a 1,100-foot elevation gain. The Todd Creek and Red Hill trails offer less strenuous hikes through lovely oak woodlands.

Taylor Mountain Regional Park is open daily from 7 a.m. to sunset. Dogs are allowed on a leash. The park also provides an accessible parking lot as well as a picnic site and restrooms.
