Location

Eight Dollar Mountain is a 4000 ft prominence found about five miles north of Cave Junction. Access to the mountain itself is difficult but the road around the base allows for some good birding. To reach this road, take Hwy 199 SW for 26 miles to Eight Dollar Road (8 Dollar Rd.). Turn right (west) and take this road as it meanders around the base of the mountain.
