Oh my, Mary's Peak, the highest mountain in the Oregon Coast range, is so close to Corvallis, but in National forest. The East Ridge and North ridge trails are fantastic single-track hiking and mountain biking trails. get ready to climb! Superb technical sections, and a nice view at the top. You can drive to the top as well, and sometimes on a clear day you can see as far north as Washington on one side, and see the Pacific ocean on the other side. (road can be gated/closed due to snow in winter; parking fee or NW forest pass).

This National Forest is located along the Central Oregon coast and encompasses the area from Reedsport north to just south of Newport. Located within this forest is the Cape Perpetua Scenic area that is, in my opinion, the crown jewel in this NF. There is fishing, hiking, camping, hunting, hiking and ocean areas located here. Well worth the stop when driving the 101 in either direction.

We had such a wonderful time hiking and exploring in this national forest. It was so lush and green that we could not help ourselves....we kept stopping to take so many pictures. Plus, it was not crowded at all and it all was very serene. We were so glad we also made it out to Spouting Horn to catch the "ocean geyser" and take fantastic pictures. LOVED this stop as part of our Oregon explorations!

If you have time for only one thing to do in the Corvallis area and it's not raining or the middle of the night, drive and hike to the top of Mary's Peak. It's only 25 miles to the top and on a clear day you can see from Mt. Rainier (250 miles north) to Diamond Peak (150 miles South) and beyond. In between there are 11 volcanoes). On a clear day you can also see Waldport (55 miles West). With binoculars you can see the bridge in Waldport and waves crashing on the beach. In the spring and summer you'll see flowers on the Peak found only in very high elevations or nowhere else in the state! You'll also see what money burning a hole in the pocket of some federal agency and a corrupt agency head can do to screw up the environment, but that's another story.

The Siuslaw is a great example of a coast range forest with a whole range of great places to visit but make sure as part of the visit you include Cape Perpetua just south of Yachats and the Devils Churn. This is a beautiful area to hike in an old growth forest or hike down to the water to watch the waves in the Devil's Churn. If the weather is beautiful the hikes are fun and if the re is a storm the Devil's Churn gets pretty exciting. The visitor's Center is always worth taking in and the guided hikes are interesting. Just plan on enough time to take it all in at a leisurely pace.

We drove through this wonderful part of the Pacific Coast on our road trip south from Seattle to San Francisco. The road mostly hugs the coastline occasionally plunging inward into woods emerging again to the coast and absolutely stunning views. We had the road virtually to ourselves and we stopped at several places to gaze and absorb. From Cape Perpetua past Captain Cook Point to Muriel O Ponsier Wayside, over Cape Creek Bridge to Rock Creek Wilderness where we looked across to Devil’s Elbow. It was a fabulous drive on a beautiful day.

What a day...clear skies and not a breeze! Hiked to the top only to see beautiful snow covered mountains across the horizon. A wonderful, quiet mountain top to sit, relax and reflect. Well worth the drive and hike!

The drive up to Mary's Peak is a must detour anytime one is in the Corvallis area. Off Highway 34, it's about a 9 mile drive (all paved) to the top of the highest peak in the Coast Range. On a nice day, you can see for miles. We went on an interesting day. Leaving Corvallis, it was still dark and cloudy. By the time we got to the top of the peak, it was sunny. Even though we couldn't see for miles, it was very awesome to above the cloud line. It was like being in an airplane. After parking the car, one can walk the short trail to the very top which we did. There is a picnic table on the top if you bring your lunch. The view is about the same as from the parking lot, but you do see more. The area is the only spot in the Coast Range where one can see alpine meadows. Hiking trails and campsites are available. A NW Forest pass or another Federal pass is required to be at the top. I hear the view is different each time one goes up and I believe it. Maybe next time I'll see the ocean and Mount Hood.

This is such a well maintained trail/area that I am sure it must be one of the most popular hikes in the area. We found it well worth the trek. We took the East Ridge Trail from Conner's Camp up to the Summit Loop. Chose to hike on a chilly but clear December day, and were rewarded with amazing views of the pacific ocean, north to Mt Hood, east to Mt. Jefferson and the three sisters. The trail was marked and maintained, a single track for multi purpose use (hike/bike). The hike was shorter than we anticipated, so we added the meadowedge loop and again found the trail in great condition. Maps were available at Conner's Camp. And for those that are not hikers, the road goes almost all the way to the summit with a short (less than a mile) walk up a dirt road to the top. Views are definitley worth it. I know people complain about the towers on the top of the peak, but honestly you won't be looking at the towers, you will be looking in the opposit direction no matter where you are standing.

Found a wonderful campground in the National Forest called Blackberry Campground. Can not say enough about the friendliness of the campground host. Dry camping with Vault toilets. Firewood available on site . Boat ramp to the Alsea River.
Great place to take a dip in the water. Great road lots of curves. Close to Mary's Peak.
