Turtlehead Mountain, or Turtlehead Peak as it is more commonly known, affords some of the best panoramic views of Red Rock. On clear days from the top of this limestone peak you can see views as far as Utah and Arizona! There is a summit register and plenty of room for you to relax, eat lunch, and snap some photos if its not too windy!

Magnificent view from here - the climb is well worth it! You can also look well in the direction of Las Vegas - should look very good in the evening.
