Having a beautiful park to go hiking afterwork is such a wonderful part of living in Oregon. Cooper Mountain Nature Park in Beaverton is a very special park surrounded by both old and new neighborhoods. The 230 acre park is at the edge of Beaverton at the top of Kemmer Road. The park overlooks the Tualatin Valley.
GRASS PRARIE
What I especially like about this park is that it has a variety of environments. As you can see from the picture above that I took at the edge of the park, there is a beautiful grass prarie. Within 1/2 mile from the parking lot, you enter into a conifer forest.
CONIFER FORESTOnce you go through the forest, you will find yourself in oak woodlands. Some evenings, if you are lucky you may see deer or even a coyote. There has even been a bobcat spoted and photographed in the park.
OAK WOODLANDThere were very few people at the park on this Wednesday night. It was a pleasant place to process the days work and relax before returning home.
