Overview:
Marys Peak, at 4,097 feet, is the highest point in Oregon’s Coast Range and the most prominent peak to the west of Corvallis.
On a clear day, from the top of the peak, you can see both the Pacific Ocean to the west and many of the Cascade peaks to the east across the Willamette Valley.
Wildflower displays in the meadow and rock gardens change throughout the late spring and summer months.The rich rolling meadows of Marys Peak are fringed by a unique Noble fir forest.
