Cooper Point
About
Cooper Point is a summit in Idaho within the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness, part of the West Fork Ranger District of the Bitterroot National Forest. The nearest town is Upper Crossing, Idaho, about 15 miles away. Because the peak sits inside designated wilderness, it lies in some of the most protected backcountry in the region, managed under the Bitterroot National Forest. Several hikes lie close by, including Vance Point about 4.5 miles away and Burnt Strip Ridge at roughly 4.6 miles. For an overnight base, Fales Flat Campground is about 8 miles off, and Paradise Campground is about 9 miles away.
