hctrails.com Nice photos & writeup. I too had a good time on this trail. I took the same route as described here except when I reached the Cornish estate (which by the way are pretty neat) I took the blue trail to the right instead of the red trail to the left (south).  I eventually ended up on the Breakneck ridge trail with was an unexpected surprise... for trail maps, gps coordinates, photos & a video of my experience on the Mt Taurus trail, see my website hctrails.com/?p=939  Happy Hiking!
