Campsite:

Signups for Cooper Canyon are Open now.

Starting near Cloudburst Summit Trailhead off Hwy 2 we walk along the Pacific Coast Trail (PCT) for 2.6 miles to the trail camp at Cooper Canyon. a 1.1 mile walk further along the PCT will take us by Cooper Canyon Falls - this may be dry this time of year, but interesting nonetheless.

Congratulations to our new Eagle Scout Matthew Turner! 

Congratulations to our new Eagle Scout Ethan Kang!
