MARYS PEAK AREA

At 4,097 ft ., Marys Peak is the highest point 

Oregon’s Coast Range. On a clear day from 

the top of Marys Peak you can see both the 

Pacifi c Ocean and many of the Cascade 

peaks from Washington to southern Oregon. 

At the top of Marys Peak are meadows and 

rock gardens that erupt with wildfl ower 

displays in the spring and summer. Th e 

meadows give way to a forest dominated by 

Noble fi rs, which thrive at this high elevation 

and are found in few other places in Coast 

Range mountains.

Th e spectacular views and broad meadows 

are unique in the Coast Range and are why 

Marys Peak has been designated a Scenic 

Botanical Special Interest Area. Honoring 

this designation, in 2015 the Forest Service 

initiated a restoration eff ort to restore and 

reconnect meadows that were losing ground 

to encroaching trees, and to re-open views 

that had become obscured over time.
