Fodor's Review:

The highest point in the Coast Range, at 4,097 feet, Mary's Peak, within Siuslaw National Forest, offers panoramic views of the Cascades, the Willamette Valley, and the rest of the Coast Range. On a clear day you can see as far as the Pacific Ocean. There are several picnicking areas, more than 10 mi of hiking trails, and a small campground. There are stands of noble fir and alpine meadows. The forest, which is 2 mi from Corvallis, includes the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, and the Cape Perpetua Interpretive Center. People usually access the Forest using one of several major highways: highways 26, 6, and 18 all access the North Central Coast, highways 20 and 34 access Newport and the Central Coast, Highway 126 accesses Florence and the north part of the Oregon Dunes, and Highway 38 accesses Reedsport and the southern section of the Oregon Dunes.
