Marys Peak Day Use
<p><img alt="Wildflowers in open meadow at Marys Peak" src="http://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_MEDIA/stelprdb5294076.jpg" style="width: 215px; height: 162px; float:left;padding-right:5px; padding-bottom:5px;" /></p><p>Perched near the summit of the highest peak in the Oregon Coast Range, Marys Peak Day Use Area offers excellent views of the Cascade Mountains, the Willamette Valley and even the Pacific Ocean on clear days. Mt. Hood, Mt. Jefferson and Mt. Saint Helens are only a few of the peaks that you may be able to observe. Wildflower displays abound in the open meadows from late spring through the summer months.</p><p>Three trails lead from the Day Use Area: <a href="http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/siuslaw/recreation/recarea/?recid=42323">North Ridge Trail</a>, <a href="http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/siuslaw/recreation/recarea/?recid=42327">Summit Trail</a>, and <a href="http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/siuslaw/recreation/recarea/?recid=42329">Tie Trail</a>. When there's snow, cross country skiing, snowshoeing and other non-motorized winter recreation are available, although the road is not maintained for winter travel and caution is advised.</p><p>In 2015, the Siuslaw National Forest began a <a href="http://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/siuslaw/?cid=stelprd3852355">meadow restoration project</a> on Marys Peak. Through carefully planned tree removal, native planting, and other management activities, we are working to restore scenic views and historic meadows.</p>

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace
- Know before you go
- Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
- Stay on trail
- Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
- Respect wildlife
- Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
- Pack it in, pack it out
- Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
- Leave what you find
- Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
