Cooper Mountain

Cooper Mountain is a summit in Oregon with an elevation of about 1,000 feet, offering views across the Willamette Valley and distant Cascade peaks. Multiple hiking trails lead through the terrain, passing through different forest and grassland areas.

The mountain served Native American tribes for centuries as a strategic location for gathering food and observing the land. The present landscape reflects this long history of use by the people who lived in the region.

The mountain preserves native habitats and plant communities that reflect the landscape character of this part of Oregon. Visitors can observe the interaction between different ecosystems as they move through forest and open areas.

Visitors can choose from marked trails of varying difficulty that lead to the summit and pass through different terrain types. A visitor center provides information and facilities to support your visit.

In spring the slopes transform into fields of native wildflowers that support local insects and wildlife. This seasonal display attracts researchers and photographers interested in documenting the area's botanical changes.
