The Kerby Flat Trail is located in the Eight Dollar Mountain Botanical Area and provides breathtaking views of the Rogue River and the rich, unique plant life that the area is known for. It also gives you a chance to see Eight Dollar Mountain up close, with its rocky outcrops and unique geological features. Ecologically, the trail is notable for its unique plant communities supported by serpentine soils, which contribute to the distinct plant life found along the trail. One of the highlights is Darlingtonia californica, also known as the California pitcher plant or cobra lily. This carnivorous plant thrives in the wet areas along the trail, and its distinct appearance is a highlight for visitors. The trail also features Jeffrey pine and knobcone pine, which are adapted to the serpentine soils and are key components of the local ecosystem. The Eight Dollar Mountain Botanical Area is protected to preserve its unique ecology and rare plant species. Visitors are encouraged to stay on designated trails to minimize their impact on the delicate environment.
