Upper Coopey Falls is a 35-foot block-shaped fall on Coopey Creek near the start of the Angels Rest Trail. From the Angels Rest Trailhead, climb the Angels Rest Trail past the viewpoint of Coopey Falls. The trail crosses Coopey Creek on a small bridge just above Upper Coopey Falls, and a short, muddy side path leads to the base. Return the same way. The base of the lower Coopey Falls is on private convent property.
