Mount Taylor from Sulwood Drive
3.4 km
Return
1 h 15 min to 2 h
Starting from Sulwood Drive, Tuggeranong, this walk takes you up to the summit of Mount Taylor and back via a singular track. The name of the mountain comes from a squatter named James Taylor. You'll be met by sweeping views of Canberra and The Brindabellas (Brindabella Range) at the top, and you don't need to drive for hours (from the city centre) to enjoy this green belt between suburbia. The Telstra Tower is also visible throughout the majority of the track. Raptors and magpies can be spotted in this reserve, along with the 'roos (kangaroos). Dogs are permitted on a lead, but the aforementioned roo population might be problematic for easily stimulated dogs. There are seats along the way, but no other facilities, so bring plenty of water and some snacks. The area tends to be busy on weekends, so try to schedule the walk on a weekday if you want to avoid the crowd. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
