The Pusch Peak Trail begins at the Linda Vista Loop Trailhead and cuts through the loop trail. After 0.7 miles and a 380-foot elevation gain, a sign marks the start of the "real" route to the peak, featuring steep 25% grade climbs, loose rocks, and prickly desert vegetation. Long pants and sturdy boots are recommended for this section. Over 1.25 miles, hikers ascend more than 2,300 feet along a mostly well-defined trail, with some sections requiring navigation over exposed rock. The return follows the same path.

Very steep trail offering great views on the canyon and the mountains range, from one side, and on the Tucson plateau on the other side. Caution : this trail is closed from Jan 1st to April 30th to protect the BigHorn sheep.
