Sunday morning, I decided to check out Cooper Mountain Nature Park for the first time. This park is easily accessed from Beaverton and other west-side suburban neighborhoods, and is on the border of fairly dense residential areas and wide-open rural farmlands. Situated near the top of a hill, it has great views of the valley below. It also features a nice variety of habitats.
The trails allow a variety of loop walks, from short and easy walks up to a nearly 1-hour walk which includes a few hundred feet of elevation change.
Here is the Metro web site for the park:

I also found another blogger who has written up an excellent article on Cooper Mountain Nature Park:
