Cooper River Snowshoe — Saturday, Jan. 12, 2019

This was my first time to Copper River and I'll definitely snowshoe here again. The elevation on this site is misleading as it is rolling uphill terrain. It is not 400 feet of elevation gain but closer to 1100. It was still an easy to intermediate route. Navigation was easy as it hasn't snowed in a few days and the trail follows a river. It was snowmobile free though you could hear thet at a few points on the trail. We started at 10 am, went a little over 2 miles out and back and didn't see anyone else until we were about a mile from the trailhead on our way back down. An added bonus was that the pit toilets were open. The sun even started peaking out as we were finishing up. Great spot on a clear, January day.
