Taylor Canyon is a Dynamic Blend of History and New Happenings

It’s prime time to enjoy the 22-mile stretch running through the Taylor Canyon

The stretch of County Road 742 running from Taylor Reservoir, through the Taylor Canyon, and to Almont is among Colorado’s most beautiful drives. Located between Crested Butte and Gunnison, it’s also a place where there is thriving community, upgrades taking place at longtime properties, and a wide range of activities and events to enjoy.

The historic cattle and hay ranch that dates to 1893, now known as Wilder on the Taylor, is the midpoint of the picturesque 22-mile stretch. This private angling paradise and recreational and preservation-oriented ranch community is situated on more than 2,100 acres and features homesteads that are a minimum of 35 acres. Homeowners have access to miles of private fishing water and trails, guided horseback rides, a horse arena, a fly-fishing guide, a chef/concierge, and a base camp for dining, relaxing and socializing.

Colorado ranch lifestyle. Embrace the rich heritage of days past. Leave a lasting legacy for the future.
