Pusch Ridge is the most prominent feature in the Pusch Ridge Wilderness Area of the Santa Catalina Mountains north of Tucson, Arizona, in the United States. Pusch Ridge rises in elevation over 2,000 feet to 5,361 feet at the top of Pusch Peak.
Pusch Ridge is in the Coronado National Forest, and home to one of the last populations of Desert Bighorn Sheep in Arizona. Pusch Ridge is noted for dramatic ridges, deep canyons, and extensive biodiversity in elevation changes. Pusch Ridge provides sweeping views of Oro Valley to the west, and Tucson to the south.
The Pusch Ridge Trailhead is accessed through the Town of Oro Valley, six miles north of Tucson on E. Linda Vista Boulevard, just east of N. Oracle Road (U.S. 89). (Lat:32.22 Lon:-110.57).
