Cooper Spur Mountain Resort is a great place to tour. The scenery is spectacular, the roadways smooth, the descents thrilling and the climbs challenging.

Our thanks to the Mt. Hood Cycling Classic for the tours described below.

Cooper Spur Circuit
Description: Start and finish at Cooper Spur Mountain Resort - a steady decent on Cooper Spur Road for approximately ten miles, before joining Baseline Road. Once on Baseline riders will travel over flat roads to highway 35. That is where the real climbing begins. Riders will gradually climb up Highway 35 to the turn off to Cooper Spur Mountain Resort. The last two miles is a steady climb to the summit - ending at Cooper Spur Mountain Resort. The course is amazing as riders will tour through the fertile farmland and o rchards of the upper Hood River Valley and then proceed up into an alpine setting at Cooper Spur. This course is set right on the climatic transition zone.

Length: 18.7 miles
Elevation: 1750 vertical feet
