Overview

hike4.0int

This hike follows the east rim of Tusher Canyon to Mill-Tusher Point. After a brief warm-up on a jeep road you spend hours exploring a long convoluted rim of salmon-hued slickrock with alcoves, spires and dramatic clifftop terrain. The Point at the end offers views of Determination Towers, Monitor & Merrimack Buttes and the nearby cliffs of Big Mesa. Best done early in the morning as there's no shade.
