A short hike up to the summit of Mount Taylor will reward you with excellent views of Canberra and beyond. It is a good alternative to Black Mountain and Mt Ainslie that enables you to avoid all the tourists and actually hike up a mountain you couldn't just drive up.
Search "Mt Taylor Carpark" in google and it should take you to a medium size capark at the top of Waldock st.
Just beyond the carpark there is a big sign with information about the hike and the area. There are a number of trails on Mt Taylor that allow you to both climb it and circumnavigate it. The tracks are well graded and well marked, and you have decent views for most of the walk. At the top there is a trig station, some benches, and a brilliant view over Canberra.
