The peak of Mount Taylor sits atop the area being the tallest mountain in Cibola National Forest and San Mateo Mountains. This dormant stratovolcano has a visitors log at the top; read through the entries of prior summiteers and have a snack before making your way back to the car. Be observant of the weather, as spring and summer can often bring afternoon storms.
