Getting There
This place is just minutes from Beaverton, off SW Farmington Road. Take SW Grabhorn Road to SW Gassner Road. Then turn onto SW 190th and take it until it turns into SW Kemmer. It's not a bad as it sounds. (There's another route from SW 175th.)
The parking lot is pretty limited but they have a dirt lot for overflow.

I'm behind on my hiking goals for 2022 so this hike was mostly for the stats but it was good to get out and get some exercise. While it was relatively short hike, there was a little elevation gain and I, somehow, avoided rain. (It was raining the entire drive over there from N Portland, including on Farmington Road.)
When I was here last time in summer of 2021, the trails were on "covid" routes, meaning most trails were one-way to maximize social distancing.
This time I followed basically the same route, counterclockwise:
Cooper Mountain Loop > Larkspur Loop > Blacktail Way > Little Prairie Loop.
