Cara and I took a hike today to Cooper Canyon Falls. It was a beautiful hike. The hike was through a pine forest at 6,200 feet. There was an elevation gain/loss of 600feet.
The first part was a 1.8 mile hike to the water falls. The water falls were beautiful. We took a couple of pictures of the waterfall.
We had intended to take a hike to Mt. Islip but the road to the trailhead was closed. The hardest part of the hike was the return to the trailhead. The last half of the hike was all uphill.
Cara and I liked Buckhorn campground. We want to take our family camping there sometime in the near future, probably near the end of July.
I think this would be a good training hike for a camp out at Cooper Canyon Trail Camp. There are a couple of places where the trail is steep.
