We decided to hike the Cooper Creek Trail a short distance up a windy forest service road from our hike in the Valley of the Giants. The trail is a short, easy hike, with the first third of it up a moderate grade. The trail itself is in good condition being on soft forest humus or an old logging road. Even with the summer growth not present, there are no open views of the surrounding terrain or Cooper Creek . . . just a nice short walk in the woods.
