This is a good page and without it I may not have searched out this peak during my short trip to Vegas. I thought I might add for those out there who are novices like me, going up Turtlehead the term "trail" should be used very loosely. After your initial approach to the gully, the trail can seemingly split into several directions if not vanish altogether. To get to the top be prepared to get creative and just keep pushing carefully upward to the saddle/ridge and then to the summit. As the creator of this page mentioned stay west of the dry creekbed as you head up and keep this in mind on the way down as well.
