Trail Overview
Cooper Meadow Spur A - FS 40N67A winds through a dynamic forest landscape recovering from past wildfires and timber harvesting in the Klamath National Forest. Accessible by turning off the main soft dirt incline onto a loose gravel track, this route offers outdoor enthusiasts access to higher-elevation ridge points, mountain views, and quiet backcountry spots. The trail begins along a narrow drop-off through standing burned timber and active logging clearing areas where the road remains clear and well-traveled. Though the path crosses a mapped property line, there are no gates or signage, allowing clear passage along the shelf road where sharp, loose rocks line the surface. Leaving the cliffside, the trail transitions into a softer dirt road framed by a rich mix of green trees, open meadows, and vibrant wildflowers before flattening out near the summit to reveal expansive horizon vistas. This trail is a narrow shelf road featuring sharp loose rock and soft dirt sections, earning a difficulty rating of 3
Difficulty
This trail earns a rating of 3 due to its narrow shelf-road sections, exposed drop-offs, and rough surface conditions. Drivers will navigate narrow passages alongside steep slopes where loose, sharp rock debris and small fallen timber line the track. Care should be taken to choose smooth lines over sharp rock patches and to maintain steady momentum along the softer dirt climbs up to the summit clearing.
