There are three levels of viewpoints at Inspiration Point. Each one gives a different perspective on the amphitheater. There are no trails that go down into the amphitheater from this viewpoint. It’s also a very dangerous spot. There are sheer drops, slippery slopes, and crumbly rocks. It’s highly recommended to stay on trails and not cross over railings.
