    We may have to try Taylor sometime. The primitive sites are, indeed, loud. The last time we were out there, I thought I was going to lose my mind. That and the wood we got from the camp store wouldn't burn. We went a night without a fire because of it.
    Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

    I strongly recommend Taylor Ridge, it is so different as far as the noise level is concerned. You can tent camp on any of the sites, and frankly, I like having access to electricity though you don't have to use it if you don't want to

    There are several "loops" on Taylor Ridge that I wouldn't recommend, I think they would be louder because of how they are designed, and you do need to choose carefully as some of the sites are almost pure gravel or have large concrete pads, but there are plenty of good sites appropriate for tent camping. I especially like sites 262 and 197? Unsure of the number of the last one but it is quite large and private. Most of the time the sites in the first section of Taylor are empty. The sites with the largest concrete pads are at the end of the Ridge.

    I just made our reservations, we'll be staying for a full week We got 2 large sites next to each other in the Taylor Ridge loop. I chose sites with cement pads--it makes it a lot easier to set up the traile. I can't wait! I'm really looking forward to this trip.

    You will have a great time Limewave, the trails are awesome and have been designated as "Epic" by IMBA. I camp there frequently, at least twice a month in the summer. When I am not camping, I often make a day trip there on Saturdays to hit the mtb trails. It would be awesome to meet you during your trip if our schedules mesh!
