Taylor Canyon is a mountain biking route in northern Utah, about half a mile long, set in the Ogden Ranger District of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. The ride gains about 430 feet in elevation, from roughly 5,100 to 5,570 feet, and the Forest Service manages the land. For comfortable riding, late spring and early fall are the best bets. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Pineview Dam run from highs around 66°F in May to 75°F in September, while July and August reach the upper 80s and winter highs stay near freezing. Taylor Canyon sits close to other outings. The Taylor Canyon Trail is about 0.2 miles away for a hike, and the Malans Basin mountain biking area is a similar distance. Climbers can find The Platform and Upper Boulder Field about 0.3 miles off, and Maples Campground is roughly 3 miles away.
