A small side trail leads from the North Loop to the best vantage point for viewing the so-called Mummy Toe. Seen from afar, the entire mountain ridge looks like a mummy lying on its side. The rock here is referred to as its toe, with each sub-peak and feature named for a different body part on the mummy.

Hiking

Just a short distance off the main North Loop Trail is a great viewpoint for the "Mummy Toe." The Mummy Toe is a prominent sheer, sub-peak of Mummy Mountain, which is the second highest peak in the Spring Mountains after Mount Charleston. The entire Mummy Mountain formation is said to look like a mummy lying down, with each sub-peak and feature named for a different body part on the mummy.
