9:35 PM LOCAL TIMETushar Mountains form a rugged barrier across south-central Utah, running roughly east to west and reaching summits near 12,000 feet (3,650 meters). The range drops from high alpine basins into forested drainages and is dissected by USFS trails and active logging roads. At higher elevations, you'll find alpine lakes, tundra-like plateaus, and seasonal ski areas such as The Tushars, which operate chairlifts during winter storms. The range serves as a corridor for backcountry skiing, snowshoeing, and mountain biking, with trailheads accessible from Beaver, _Fifty Mile, and nearby national parks. In the summer, it rewards hikers and anglers with steep climbs, remote camp sites, and panoramic views of surrounding deserts and plateaus.
