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 is the closest publicly accessible vantage point with a view of the area.
Tikaboo Peak is used because the government 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.
