Cooper Mountain Nature Park, Beaverton

I try to walk here every day and I always find something new. I see lots of deer, squirrels, coyotes, and even snakes. I love the solitude here. This park is amazing, some places remind me of the African savanna. Weekends are busy especially if it’s sunny. On week days, if I go early I only see a few familiar faces. People are mostly nice, follow the rules, keep the 6’ distance and do not litter, although not always. Once in a while I see people walking with their dogs. I don’t know whether they are ignorant of the rules or just don’t care. Anyway, no dogs are allowed, not even on the parking lot, which is clearly stated. There are several loops in the park and you can choose them depending on how much you want to walk. I normally walk the big loop and two small loops on top which is about 3.5 miles. Please stay on the paths and do not ignore the signs. Kyle, the ranger is super nice and hard working. He takes good care of the park and does his best to maintain the trails. His work is very much appreciated.

Multiple trails to choose from. Easy. Moderate. Steep. As I ventured up to the nature preserve it was raining. However, when I made it to the parking lot, there was no rain. I will admit the peace of God reigns all around me and it can for you too. Immerse yourself above the city. Away from the traffic. Away from the daily grind. Slip away into peace. Slip away into joy. Slip away into love. Whether walking with a partner or alone. There is something for everyone.

It's a beautiful park. It has a bunch of nice short trails and a good view. You'll find kids, adults and youngsters come to the park. Sunsets are usually beautiful here, don't miss it when the skies are clear.
