Oct 20, 2018 — Pusch Peak uses an unofficial trail to reach its summit. The peak's steep cliffs tower over the northern Tucson suburban sprawl. The hike begins along the Linda Vista Trail, a popular loop that's easily accessible. I left the loop at a sign marking the end of the maintained forest service trail system. From here, the Pusch Peak Trail ascended a drainage on the peak's west side, keeping out of the drainage's bottom and instead sticking to the base of the cliffs. The hike continues east as it ascends toward the peak, some light Class 2 scrambling along the way. This is a short and steep hike which has nice views of Tucson below and the majority of the Santa Catalina Mountains to the east, including Bighorn Peak just to the east, and Mount Lemmon farther back.
