Women's Pride Hike to Cooper Canyon Falls

* ***THIS IS A WOMEN-IDENTIFYING-ONLY TRIP****

For this adventure, we will be celebrating PRIDE MONTH with a hike to Cooper Canyon Falls. We can't imagine a better way to celebrate this month than a hike to our FAVORITE waterfall. Cooper Canyon Falls is a hidden gem tucked away an hour into Angeles Crest. This easy hike leads to a beautiful waterfall and swimming hole in SoCal. Cooper Canyon offers a relaxing summer waterfall for those staying overnight at Buckhorn Campground or venturing into San Gabriel Mountains National Monument for a get-away day hike. The three-mile round trip trek descends 745 feet into a mountain canyon through an enchanting old-growth forest to reach a small waterfall. The single track trail passes through a mixed forest of pines, alders, and oaks.
