Carly Kovacik and I hiked Taylor Mountain on September 16th. Taylor is a peak located near the Wyoming/Idaho border...slightly east of Victor, ID, west of Jackson, WY, and on the southwest periphery of Grand Teton National Park. We hiked through grizzly territory, but no bears were spotted. Nevertheless, our bear spray was close at hand. Otherwise, the trail was not too challenging. We ascended through forest, meadows, followed by some steeper slopes that gave access to the Taylor Mountain ridge. We traversed the ridge, which offered some class 2+ hiking at times. Trailhead to summit was 3000 feet of vertical, which we tackled in 2.5 hours. I have to add that after the hike, we ate dinner at the Knotty Pine restaurant. The food was amazing, and the late summer setting outdoors beneath a knotty pine gave us a real western homesteading dinner experience. I highly recommend the place for anyone looking for a meal in Victor, Idaho.
