On Mary's Peak by Hiking Guy...
Mary's Peak is the highest summit in the Oregon Coast Range, at 4098
feet. On a clear, haze-free day, one may see the Olympics in the North
along with the Cascades as far as the Canadian border. Straight East is
the central High Cascades. To the South are the High Cascades clear down
to California and the Klamath Range of SW Oregon. West is the Pacific.
The trail to the summit is an old road, and an easy walk. We have seen
powered wheelchairs up there; I suspect it's a bumpy ride. Wildflowers
abound, on the rock walls and in the meadows. Huge Alpine meadows,
adorned with colorful butterflies. Many trails meandering about the
summit area. Great place for kids. Wear a sun hat or slather on the
sunscreen. Lots of places to eat lunch. Not the place for wilderness
solitude.
