justinpopov went hiking Coopey Falls February 1, 2014 26 miles 9,000 feet gained
Trail Run/ Hike 6 hours 30 mins
Started early. 2 cars at the Angels Rest parking lot at 7:30.
Route: Angels Rest --->Devils Rest----->Larch Mountain Trail----->Franklin Ridge Trail---->Down Oneonta Trail----->Up Horsetail Creek Trail to Bell Creek Trail intersection. Returned the way I came.
Trail conditions. Angles Rest was very muddy, looks like someone did some recent work adding water bars. Other trails had less blow down than I expected after the wind storm last week. Snow levels about 2500ft or so. Most snow on Oneonta Trail/ Franklin Ridge area. Took user trail below bridge to access Horsetail Creek Trail. Pretty wet but doable. Trail improved a lot as I ascended.
Did not run into a soul until I got back to Devils Rest and then ran in to most of Portland on my way down Angles Rest. Reminds me why I avoid this trail on weekends!
