Here we are at the South Taylor farm trailhead, just going to show you how accessible it is. I'm going to do a little tour, beautiful area here, a great place to picnic, pretty tough bathroom, it's about 15 pounds of pressure to get in. Sometimes you have to use your feet. So, let's go check out this trail.

A

Sometimes you'll find ruts at the trailhead kind of have to just maneuver around them.

A

The gates about 4 pounds of tension to get through not too bad.

A

Got about 1,100 feet so far. This is the east boulder trail, your winds around and reconnect with the teller farm trail. A lot of weeds and goat heads are on it. So it's pretty easy to puncture a tire will go the other way. Instead.

A

We're going to head over to tell ro lake number one: first, we have to go up. The steep little hill starts out about 5%. That goes all the way up to twelve percent. For a couple feet. Average is about 9%. Here we go.

A

Here we are at the lake just going to cruise down the slope it's about six percent with a little bit, that's about 12%, 45 feet or so.

A

Here's the twelve percent here we go easy, a little bit of a whip.

A

Who we are on the deck perfect day for fishing I'm, going to do a little bit of that I have to lower the guardrails.

A

Sweet yeah ooh, oh, it feels like a big one feel like I'm gonna lose the rod. I look at that got myself a oh.

A

Let's go at the trails.

A

The east boulder trail connects back in with the teller trail and we'll just keep going down to the North. Taylor trail trail head.

A

Sometimes you'll see a red tail hawk flying up above or a bald eagle or some sort of migratory bird lot of water towel.

A

A

Music greats have to be out here lot of light legs moving. Let it birds flying around.

A

It's good, it's a great trail to do a little bit of hand cycling on what let's go bike.

A

This is one of the tougher spots on the trail, quick free old plan, a one inch to inch lip on a lot of it hard to get over with a wheelchair, but it's doable and yeah just be careful.

A

We've reached the North Taylor farm trailhead, that's the end of 2.7 miles, teller, contrail.
