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 located within the Town of Oro Valley. It is accessed from E. Linda Vista Boulevard just east of N. Oracle Road (U.S. 89), six miles north of Tucson.
