Mary's Peak

My mom and I decided to try another hike we've never done, so we drove a little over an hour to a little town called Philomath (just outside of Corvallis). We ended up doing a 5 mile hike up and around the beautiful Mary's Peak. It is the highest peak on the Oregon coastal range. Once we finally hiked to the top I felt like singing "The hills are alive" and spinning around like The Sound of Music. It looked just like a scene from the movie. It was so nice to sit and have a picnic with this gorgeous view surrounding us, and it didn't even matter that I looked completely ridiculous with a gopro strapped to my chest and a giant fanny pack around my waist. The hike wasn't too difficult and I definitely recommend it! If you're not one for hiking, you can drive almost to the top and just walk up a short gravel road to see the view. I couldn't believe how gorgeous the day was, I didn't need to use photoshop on a single one of these photos.
