Short Cut to Ledges

This extremely brief connector — just a tenth of a mile — does exactly what its name suggests, cutting between other trails to reach the Ledges in one of the region's trail networks. It's the kind of minimal spur that appears on detailed maps but barely registers as a "hike" in its own right. Useful if you're already on adjacent trails and want the quickest route to the viewpoint.
