The remote Bush Mountain is deep in the Guadalupe Mountains Wilderness and can only be accessed by hiking or horse-packing. Standing at 8,631 feet, Bush Mountain is the second highest peak in Texas. Many who hike Bush Mountain choose to make it an overnight trip; there is a wilderness campground and radio tower below the southeast side of the summit. Regardless of whether you make it a day hike or part of a backpacking trip, Bush Mountain is a great summit with lovely views of the mountains and desert surrounded by scrubby pine trees and grasses.
