Tikaboo Peak

Tikaboo Peak is the unofficial name for a mountain in Lincoln County, Nevada, United States 26 miles (42 km) to the east of Area 51. It was the closest publicly accessible vantage point with a view of the area until a temporary closure took effect in March 2026. Tikaboo Peak was used because the gov

ernment closed two closer vantage points to Area 51 — Freedom Ridge and White Sides — to public access in 1995, due to the number of people photographing or filming the base from these sites.
