Cooper Mountain Nature Park

We used to drive past Cooper Mountain Nature Park to get to Josh and Kayla's house and we still drive by the park to get to our friends Josh and Sarah's house.  Every time we drive past the nature park we make comments about visiting someday.  Well, this weekend was the time!

Here is the website http://www.thprd.org/nature/naturalareas/coopermountainnaturepark.cfm description of Cooper Mountain Nature Park:  Overlooking the Tualatin River Valley, Cooper Mountain Nature Park is located on the edge of Beaverton. The 230-acre park, at 18892 SW Kemmer Road, Beaverton, offers visitors 3½ miles of trails (with varying levels of difficulty) that traverse the park and pass through each of its distinct habitats - from conifer forest to prairie to oak woodlands. Visitors will be rewarded with grand views of the Chehalem Mountains, close-up looks at Oregon white oaks and a small prairie that has sat relatively undisturbed for hundreds of years.

We went on a great hike using a couple different trails and Isaiah even got to play at a small playground at the top of the nature park.  We loved the nature park and can’t wait to go back again and take more of our family to enjoy this amazing place!
