Description
Rogers Peak is the highest summit in the northern Coast Range of Oregon as well as the high point of Tillamook County. It also has the greatest prominence of any peak in the Coast Range except for Marys Peak. The peak is named after Nelson Rogers, the Oregon State Forester in the 1940s who was tasked with replanting the Tillamook Burn.
The actual summit is a mossy cluster of rocks surrounded by trees. There are no views from the summit, but there are excellent views from roads along the north slopes. Under one of the rocks, you’ll find summit registers in jars covered by red-painted tin cans.
