Tikaboo Peak, Mountain summit and observation point in Lincoln County, Nevada, United States.

Tikaboo Peak is the highest point of the Pahranagat Range in Lincoln County, Nevada, rising in the Great Basin between Death Valley and Great Basin national parks. It stands at the eastern edge of Tikaboo Valley near Highway 375, 42 km east of Area 51. No hiking trail leads up; unpaved roads with rocky sections reach the summit.

Tikaboo Peak is an unofficial name; the mountain was not named in 1995. In 1995 the U.S. government closed Freedom Ridge and White Sides to the public because people photographed and filmed Area 51 from them. Tikaboo Peak then became the only freely accessible viewpoint of the restricted area, until the Bureau of Land Management closed a 93 km² area including the peak from 25 March 2026 for at least a year.

The name Tikaboo is unofficial, and the peak sits above Tikaboo Valley beside Highway 375, the road promoted as the Extraterrestrial Highway. Visitors come to photograph and film the restricted Area 51 complex from the summit, continuing the practice that led the government to close Freedom Ridge and White Sides in 1995.

Reaching the summit requires a challenging hike of about 2.5 miles with steep terrain that demands physical effort. Water and shade are scarce, so visitors should bring plenty of supplies and prepare for hot, dry conditions.

Tikaboo Peak is the highest point of the Pahranagat Range, in the Great Basin between Death Valley and Great Basin national parks. The nearest towns are Alamo and Ash Springs, about 20 km away; Las Vegas lies 110 km south. The name is unofficial.
