Land OwnerCity of Flagstaff
The Karen Cooper Trail begins at Wheeler Park in downtown Flagstaff and generally follows the Rio de Flag for several miles to the Cheshire neighborhood in the far northwest corner of town. Along the way the trail passes through a variety of natural areas, including willow-lined riparian wetlands, stands of mature Ponderosa pines, and rock outcroppings, and oak thickets. At times the trail also opens to magnificent views of the San Francisco Peaks.
Other highlights along the trail include the historic Townsite neighborhood at the southern end; and Francis Short Pond, a small picturesque reservoir that is frequented by a variety of waterfowl. Toward the north end, the trail follows of the rim of the steep, rock-walled canyon of the Rio de Flag for a short time.
In April of 2011, the Flagstaff City Council renamed this trail to honor Karen Cooper, a City Council member from 2000 to 2008 who passed away in 2010.
