Marys Peak: An Adventure Through the Seasons, Oregon

[@edsonherald3720]

! ! ! AMAZING VIEWS ! ! ! Many Thanks Feom South America 👍🏽👍🏼👍🏽🙏🏼🌿

[@MattCookOregon]

Thanks Edson! Welcome from Oregon.

[@olivertrumanjr9556]

Joe Pera vibes. Love it. I’m from the Midwest, somehow I managed to visit 6 years ago because my wife had a connection in Corvalis. It’s still etched in my memories as a magical place. Newport Oregon is even crazier. That hill at Yaquina lighthouse - I’ll remember that long after I’m dead

[@MattCookOregon]

Thank you. I am not sure who that is but hopefully they are a good creator. If interested I did a movie on here about all the Oregon lighthouses, its good.

[@oregonoutdoorfamily]

Mad respect, Matt. Another beautiful video.

[@MattCookOregon]

Thank you! For such a little mountain this turned out to be a fun project.

[@f0rtitude]

Your channel rocks, so happy I came across it. 👌🏼

[@MattCookOregon]

Thank you. I am glad you found it. I like to cover a bit of everything outdoors, though I am on a mountain kick lately, only a few major ones I haven't covered left.

[@melissabeyer7826]

Another great video. I have been there many times and it is a beautiful place. Thanks!

[@MattCookOregon]

Thanks Melissa. I filmed the spring part and then realized I had to go back for some other things.

[@MattCookOregon]

Fun. I have a Mt Hood and Mt Washington video to edit next. A bit more climbing involved in those.

[@OregonMikeH]

Oh Boy! How Outstanding. The Instagram Notifications are so helpful Matt, Thank You.

[@darnold87]

Great video Matt! Definitely a special place that we love to visit. :)

[@MattCookOregon]

Thank you! I need to find a good route to snowboard now.

[@northcoastoutdoorchannel]

I have really enjoyed your multiple season videos! Really cool to see how the seasons changed! I also enjoyed the history of Mary's peak. Nice wildflower shots!

[@MattCookOregon]

Thanks North Coast. They sure do take a long time. I didn't want to wait for Fall on this one.

[@MattCookOregon]

Thanks!

[@lynnnorthrup8914]

I enjoyed your 4 season approach in this video . A great perspective. The little hiker was really neat, they grow up fast. Interesting video and thanks for sharing! 😀👍

[@MattCookOregon]

Thanks Lynn. The little hiker in training is doing great so far. I am just waiting for climb practice to start!

[@lynnnorthrup8914]

@@MattCookOregon That will come faster than a blink of an eye. It will be a fun journey.

[@johnmcnulty4425]

Your dedication to go in all seasons takes it to a whole other level! Thank you for this comprehensive look at this lovely and accessible mountain..

[@MattCookOregon]

Thanks John. I like to take my time until I am happy with a video. Sometimes that involves going back, but who would complain about visiting these places twice. Heres a funny truth in this this video, I filmed the spring part first in March, then it snowed in April and that was the winter part, then I did the summer in June. Kind of funny how I felt the need to lie, but I liked the order of seasons better.

[@iversonb.7085]

Great video! One of my favorite hikes, so cool to see the cascades on one side and the ocean the other.

[@MattCookOregon]

Thank you very much! It is a nice one. Too bad they don't put a public lookout tower with the radio towers.

[@brucelayman525]

thanks matt. will have to see this peak.

[@MattCookOregon]

Thank you. Worth a visit any time of year. I kind of missed out on a Fall visit here. That time of year you get some nice visibility.

[@honeysucklecat]

You produce great stuff. Very well done.

[@MattCookOregon]

Thank you very much!

[@judieversaul4274]

Thank you, Matt. The wildflowers are amazing. Worth the wait.☮️❤️

[@MattCookOregon]

Thanks Judi! I almost waited til Fall for this one but I figured that season wasn't going to be a big change.

[@steveblanshan428]

@@MattCookOregon you have to find the top of jump off joe "hwy 20" what a view!

[@ArielleViking]

I love this and truly wonderful to see the difference seasons on this beautiful mountain peak. The snowy trails and loaded trees and branches sure was something great to see. ❤️

[@MattCookOregon]

Thanks Arielle. The snowy trees were pretty but also annoying to stop our hike!

[@Oregontrailblazin]

You ARE the best Matt !!

[@OregonMikeH]

That's a Fact!

[@MattCookOregon]

Thanks Becky! I have a blast doing these.

There YA GO Pal, I find it a real pleasure to share them out myself. Good for You Bucko, 100% ... Mike.

Thanks for viewing!

Very nice Matt!

[@MattCookOregon]

Thank you!

[@sharonwhiteley6510]

I have hiked in the Alps and extremely grateful for the fog covering the view. Your family trip will give you memories forever to be enjoyed.

[@MattCookOregon]

I am making less videos these days but we are still getting out there and having fun!

[@Sillyworld82]

I live in Madras, Oregon and Mary's peak is going on the list for sure 👍🏾

EXCELLENT VIDEO ‼️ Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to see such a beautiful place. My dream for many years has been to go to Oregon. It will probably never happen for me. So this is the only way I will get to experience this special place. I'm always looking forward to seeing more from you. Hope you have a truly phenomenal day.🏞️⛰️🏔️👍👍👍👍👍

[@judieversaul4274]

I live nextdoor in Washington but enjoy Oregon greatly. If you came to the Pacific Northwest you would never want to leave! 🏞️

Thank you very much. I hear housing costs are usually too high for salary but you can find a way I bet.

[@aarronwootton]

Riding motorcycles up to Marys Peak will always be one of my favorite things

[@MattCookOregon]

I would do it if I had one!

[@paulp.6399]

Did that once with 2 of my brothers many years ago, was a fun ride.

[@Ravenwood82]

One of my favorite places on earth! Where I learned to ski many years ago! Still love going up there.

[@MattCookOregon]

That is awesome. On the meadow or in the trees?

[@Ravenwood82]

@@MattCookOregon We skied the whole thing at one time or another. Best fun was going up there on a clear, cold nite to ski by full moon. Snow sparkled in the moonlight and could see the ocean and all up and down the Willamette Valley. Amazing place. The Kalapuya Indians called it 'tcha Timanwi". Place of spiritual power. They were right!

[@conniewojahn6445]

Well done, as usual. Thank you very much. Always wanted to go there and wish I had gone while I was still capable. I'm happy to watch others enjoy it, especially the little one.

[@MattCookOregon]

Thank you! The change of seasons made this one fun to put together. Ella is becoming a great mountain climber.

[@bpajarito3760]

I’ve discovered your videos a couple of weeks ago and I love them! I’ve lived in Roseburg for about 12 years now, just haven’t had time to truly explore Oregons beauty. But now I can, thanks to you!!!! Thank you…..

[@MattCookOregon]

Thank you. Hopefully you have seen a bunch of the waterfalls east of you. I highly recommend Shadow falls, my fav of the 40 or so waterfalls there. Let me know if you visit any of my video spots.

[@OregonMikeH]

ps: I hand to watch this one more then once, which has been the case for so many of your productions. They truly are the finest to be found through any source.

[@MattCookOregon]

You are the greatest.

[@davidtate166]

That area of Oregon on the western side of the Cascades is a warm cool a Mediterranean climate I think

[@MattCookOregon]

I feel warm at the coast about 1 week out of the year!

[@charliegallery]

Excellent, thanks, good job! Who's Mary?

[@MattCookOregon]

Wow how did I not cover that in the video. Nobody knows! Some have theories.

[@TheWorldAccordingtoJim]

Absolutely beautiful. Absolutely enjoy your narration. Thanks for sharing in different seasons. Marys Peak is definitely on our radar now👍...

[@MattCookOregon]

Thanks Jim. I do enjoy researching and putting it all together into a story. Things are easy when fun.

[@AdventuresPNW]

Thanks for sharing! It's really cool to see the same place throughout the seasons. Love the summer wildflowers.

[@MattCookOregon]

Thanks I am glad you liked that. It took some planning.

[@Dad_Woof]

What a nice video Matt. Those transitions from the seasons was great.

[@MattCookOregon]

Thank you!

[@Off_the_beaten_path]

Wow absolutely stunning! I think this is my favorite video of yours so far dude. Super neat idea to capture the mountain in the various seasons and it was awesome to learn about the indigenous history of the mountain. Well done Matt! 👏🏼

[@MattCookOregon]

Thank you. Interesting I thought North Sister would be more your style of video!

[@toandfro2377]

I appreciate your integration of the importance of this mountain to the indigenous people. Unfortunately man had to ugly it up with towers and fencing. How disgusting!!

[@MattCookOregon]

Absolutely. Can't go back more than a couple hundred years without talking about the originals.

[@OregonMikeH]

OH MAN! ... I gotta go there, that's doable for me even under certain present limitations. It's rare to see an area filmed by the same creator during differing Seasons. It's very special to see that and your narration is top notch Matt. So greatly appreciated my friend, I enjoyed every second of it. A pleasure to share it out to others, thanks man! ... Mike.

[@MattCookOregon]

Thanks Mike. I am surprised you haven't been. Time to go. Camping, easy or hard hikes, the views, lots to see.

[@edruttledge342]

We can occasionally see Mary's Peak from our residence in Salem. This past year the mountain was often snow-covered. The video editing was exceptional in showing places as their appearance changes between the seasons. Well done.

[@MattCookOregon]

Thanks Ed. I can see this peak from almost everywhere its a cool thing.

[@blameitonben]

Have you ever snowboarded on it?

[@MattCookOregon]

Thanks for stopping by my channel Ben. I have not. I have seen many skiiers and ski trails there though. One day I will get a split board...

[@gnome9167]

can you make a playlist of the music you use

[@MattCookOregon]

$200

[@honeysucklecat]

I read that one can see Mt Rainier on super clear days

[@MattCookOregon]

You can see a lot. I didn't get the best far views for the video. I would have had to wait a couple months and wanted to put it out sooner.
