Life on top of Cooper Mountain
One of the interesting things new homeowners often discover at 770+ feet up, is just how different the climate can be. Often waking to gorgeous morning sunrises above the cloud and fog layer, occasionally socked right in the thick of the sweeping clouds.
Often windy, and certainly more harsh in the winters, temperatures usually are 3 to 7 degrees cooler than on the valley floor. If there is a threat of snow, you'll usually find it here first. And when there is snow at the valley floor, you can expect 2 to 4" more at the top.
Summers are less intense often cooled with a gentle breeze, Spring starts a couple weeks later, and Fall starts a little sooner on the mountain, but one thing is for sure... the four mountain views (Mt Rainier, Mt. Saint Helens, Mt. Adams, and Mt Hood) are fantastic to look at year-round!
