Hike South Rim Trail (Spectra Point/Ramparts Overlook), Cedar Breaks National Monument, Utah
The Spectra Point/Ramparts Overlook Trail is a four-mile round-trip along the rim, with spectacular views in all directions. The bristlecone pines, one of the longest-living species of trees, are found along this trail. The oldest known tree in the monument is over 1,600 years old.
At 10,500 feet, this hike is moderately strenuous and is not recommended for persons with cardiac or pulmonary health problems. Bring adequate footwear for hiking, a hat and sunscreen, something to protect you from the cool winds, and lots of water to drink. If you just hike to Spectra Point Overlook, the trip is only a two-mile round-trip.
The hike is along a crumbling eroding cliffs so keep away from the edge and keep children close. Make sure to bring Bug Spray since fly's, nat's and mosquito's are common.
Bikes and motorized vehicles are not allowed on any of the hiking trails located within the monument. Pets are only permitted on the Campground Trail.
