The view of Cooper River from near the start of the trail
The same view on a snowshoe trip 3 months ago
Cooper River rushing by
The trail mostly climbs well above the river, but the beginning sure is nice
Early-season trail obstacles
Indian Paintbrush making an appearance
Trilliums were everywhere, including some starting to blush purple
Red Mountain hovers above Cooper River Valley
Resting by the river, just enjoying the sights and sounds
Great spot for a rest break
Patches of snow on the opposite bank, a sign that summer is still a ways off
Followed the trail a little over 3 miles, encountering snow patches toward the end
Cooper River flows out of Cooper Lake, seen in the distance here
Sign on the bridge where we turned around
