Ledge Point via Cassidy Trail and Rich Trail GPX Track

I need to offset my substantial website costs somehow! You can download a hike/drive GPX to assist you here. Before sharing my GPX tracks with others, please remember my site is otherwise a free resource.

I followed the Cassidy Trail from the Red Canyon Trailhead up a wash, turning left onto the Rich Trail which led me up to a flat section that continued south to Ledge Point. This is a nice viewpoint, but Ledge Point Peak was just a bit north and was too close to not take the short off-trail walk to get to its high point, with nicer views. Easiest access seemed to be from the northeast. From here, I got back onto the Rich Trail and turned right onto the Cassidy Trail, which took me back to the trailhead.
