Tushar Ridge is an 8-mile out-and-back hike in the Beaver Ranger District of Fishlake National Forest in Utah, managed by the Forest Service. The trail rises from about 8,850 feet to about 10,210 feet, with a total elevation gain of 1,506 feet. It is a hard hike, and the route is natural-surface, so expect rough footing. Bikes and horses are both allowed, which makes it a versatile option for riders and pack animals. The Tushar Ridge-Hi Hunt Tie trail starts about 0.6 miles away, and Trail 3608, a mountain biking route, is just as close. For an overnight base, Big John's Dispersed Camping sits about 2.7 miles off and Big Flat Dispersed Camping about 3.6 miles. Climbers can head to Beaver Canyon, roughly 6.2 miles away.
