Spectra Point/Ramparts Trail begins just south of the visitor center and runs 1 mile along the exposed southern rim of the amphitheater to Spectra Point Overlook, a peninsula that extends into the amphitheater. On the peninsula are a stand of bristlecone pines clinging to the rock. These hardy, gnarled trees can live up to 2,000 years. From Spectra Point, Ramparts Trail travels a mile through the forest past a stream and then out to Ramparts Overlook, a promontory extending into the far southern portion of the amphitheater.
