Mary’s Peak’s characteristic hump defines the Coast Range between Eugene and Salem and offers great hiking opportunities. The mountain is also home to some amazing old-growth forests – which will be dedicated as part of the Old Growth Forest Network at a ceremony at the beginning of the hike. We’ll join in that dedication, with remarks by Siuslaw National Forest representatives and staff of the Old Growth Forest Network, and then do a loop hike from the summit using the Tie Trail and East Ridge Trail. This hike is also a great opportunity to learn about forest policy and how it can protect (or not) public lands like Marys Peak.
Carpools will be available from Eugene and Corvallis if desired.
The goal of Oregon Wild’s outdoor program is to connect our supporters to the places we work to protect and conserve. Our guided hikes and outings are led by staff members with experience in our conservation campaigns, knowledge about the natural world, and a passion for Oregon’s wild places and wildlife. Our programs offer an educational experience and a connection to advocacy for the places we visit. We strive to make our outdoor programs inviting and safe for everyone.
