Geocache Description:



Bridge Point is located just East of Bridge Mountain in Red Rock. This is a difficult hike with a LOT of exposure and several Class IV sections. You should be in excellent hiking shape and comfortable on Class IV rock to attempt this hike.

The cache itself is hidden near the peak, under a large rock, covered by a few smaller ones. Take a look at the spoiler picture if you'd like. It is a small tin with room for small items.

There are a few different ways to this elusive peak. I hiked down to the hidden forest to the east of Bridge Mountain and traversed a series of ledges to Bridge Point. There was a lot of exposure this way. There is also a way to ascend via Pine Creek. This way is very steep and there is a lot of loose rock and exposure. If you would like a detailed hike description, I believe you can get it from www.hikinglasvegas.com.

Again, this hike is not for the faint of heart, anyone out of shape, or anyone afraid of heights. I wouldn't attempt it on a windy day.

Make sure to sign the peak log while you're up there too! It should be in the large rock cairn. THE PEAK LOG IS NOT THE CACHE!

Congrats to PhantomWSO for FTF!
