Cooper Mountain Road

Cooper Mountain Road is an easy, pleasant drive in the Okanogan Wenatchee National Forest. The trail begins 7 miles north of Chelan, Washington, traveling north into the forest. About a third of the way in, it reaches the summit of Cooper Mountain, at 5,856 feet. There, you can stand on a rocky outcropping, looking at the valley to the west. Near the end of the trail passes by Fox Peak, where there’s a brief and slightly challenging bypass option. This is an easy, long trail with several camping options, and is a nice addition to an already amazing overlanding experience. This trail is part of the Washington Cascade Overland Route.
