Mount Taylor

Mount Taylor rises 856 meters above sea level between the Woden Valley and Tuggeranong Valley, featuring multiple walking trails through woodland environments.

The mountain received its name from James Taylor, an early settler who established a hut in the region before 1829 during colonial expansion.

The mountain stands on Ngunnawal Country, containing two Aboriginal heritage sites that demonstrate the long-standing connection of Indigenous people to this land.

Multiple access points include the main trail from Sulwood Drive, extending 2 kilometers with an elevation gain of 180 meters and regular rest areas.

The reserve protects endangered Yellow Box-Blakely's Red Gum Grassy Woodland and maintains significant populations of the Pink-tailed Worm-lizard species.
