Walk among the carnivores—the carnivorous California pitcher plant (Darlingtonia californica), that is. The 1/8 mile Eight Dollar Mountain Interpretive Boardwalk provides an easy walk through towering pines to view one of southern Oregon’s most unique botanical features, Darlingtonia fens (wetlands). Educational panels along the boardwalk provide information about the California pitcher plant, its wet serpentine habitat, and the drier surrounding slopes. A moderate hike along the 1-mile Jeffrey Pine Loop Trail passes through serpentine habitats, follows an historic mining ditch, and offers views of the Illinois River. Visit the trails in late April through early June for wildflower viewing.
