About this place

Trailhead for Marys Peak North Ridge Trail #1350. The North Ridge Trail on Marys Peak is one of the more remote trails on the peak. The full length of the trail is 6.4 miles but the most common route begins at the Woods Creek Trailhead. This shared use trail is part of a popular mountain biking loop. Climbing the North Ridge is challenging and the descent is steep with switchbacks and some technical areas. To access the trail from the Woods Creek Trailhead, walk through the gate and you will find the marked trailhead immediately to the right. From Corvallis, Oregon, drive west on Hwy 20/34 through Philomath. When the two roads split, travel west (stay right) on Highway 20 for 1.8 miles to Woods Creek Road. Turn left onto Woods Creek Road and continue 7.5 miles to the parking area before a locked gate. Woods Creek Road is paved for the first 2 miles and the remainder is gravel. Please do not block the gate when parking your vehicle.
