Chunky blue tech trail that connects the lift to the trail hub to the east. This is the technical blue alternative to Outlaw. Bushwack has multiple lines through with rock gardens and rock rolls. There are three main branches to the trail: the most popular leading toward the trails by the lake (Tempest, Retreat, Legion, etc.), another to the north (Stalker, Utah, Asylum, Waterboy), and one that drops you to the service roadww.trailforks.com/trails/service-road-344784/]service road[/L] in between. Bushwack also has lines that connect with Exodus and 99.

Access Info

Directly across from the lift, cross the grass and head left. Sometimes closed for weddings and other events.
