Bush Mountain

Review & FAQ:

In contrast to the brutal terrain of Anthony’s Nose, Bush Mountain offers a kinder, gentler ascent for an exhilarating climb.

It is the second highest peak in both the Guadalupe Mountains and the state of Texas, behind neighboring Guadalupe Peak.

Hikers can expect a pleasant summit experience with soft grasses, moderate temperatures, and a smattering of Douglas fir and ponderosa pine trees.

Epic desert views of the surrounding Chihuahuan Desert and Pine Spring Canyon are the reward at this summit.

Hikers can also expect to see Bartlett Peak, Guadalupe Peak, and Shumard Peak.

Those hoping to camp in the area have plenty of choices, from front country to back country camping.
