Actually, I'm on the trail to Upper Fish Fork; the photo is looking down canyon. I'd say both HikeUp and Zé got it right, Zé being slightly more on target but both within the bullseye; pretty darn good sleuthing, guys.

Honorable mention to Taco for most humorous entry.

HikeUp, "tag", you're it.

What peak is that between the trees?

Tie-breaker question is...where's the picture taken from?

Dang trees. No fair using camouflage.

Throop Peak?

Not Throop.

Dang. Beats the heck out of me. You're fairly high, that much can be seen, but I can't see enough of that ridge to identify it. It's probably some place I've been but at an angle I don't recognize.

Maybe it's Blue Ridge and possibly Wright seen from PMR, but it doesn't look quite like what I would expect.

Same peak, but from a slightly different spot - sans trees!

Baden-Powell from Copter Ridge

Ze is correct.

If it was, I think it would look different

hint: chaparral ends ~ 6000-6500' altitude

Post by **Hikin_Jim** » Thu Jul 29, 2010 5:22 pm

Yes, the transition from chaparral to pines should narrow things down a bit as should the line of Doug Firs in the drainage which suggest we're looking more or less north. All very helpful except for the fact I don't recognize it a bit.

I was thinking it might be somewhere around Pacifico or Gleason, but you just shot down that idea.

Middle high country (Three Points to BP) or eastern high country?

photo was taken before Station Fire.

Post by **Hikin_Jim** » Thu Jul 29, 2010 5:50 pm

I are confused. So this is in the area affected by the Station Fire and a photo taken today would look different?

I am making no statement about the location, only that the picture was taken before the station fire so you cannot use the change in terrain to make a conclusion 8)

Post by **HikeUp** » Thu Jul 29, 2010 9:11 pm

LOL. I think it's Pacifico from the east/southeast - the approach from Alder Saddle.

Ze Hiker · Post by **Ze Hiker** » Thu Jul 29, 2010 10:54 pm

nope not Tiburicio's mountain

Name this peak...

Post by **Hikin_Jim** » Fri Jul 30, 2010 10:04 am

Name that peak? OK, Bob. I vote for Bob. I think Bob is a good name, although some might prefer Josephine.

Post by **HikeUp** » Fri Jul 30, 2010 10:09 am

Bob Knob?

It's not Josephine either, LOL.

Whoa! Let's not talk about Bob's knob.

Brown Mtn. Taken from over on Sunset Ridge?

Post by **HikeUp** » Fri Jul 30, 2010 10:18 am

Not Brown. Wrong part of the S.G. Range.

Ze Hiker · Post by **Ze Hiker** » Fri Jul 30, 2010 12:01 pm

tough. wrong part of the range by Browns? how about Condor?

Post by **HikeUp** » Fri Jul 30, 2010 12:12 pm

Not Condor. And even more wrong.

It's a zoomed in picture. I'll post the non-zoomed pic if no correct guesses.

Clamshell Peak?

Post by **HikeUp** » Fri Jul 30, 2010 12:46 pm

Not Clamshell.

Obscure and probably useless hint: picture taken from a point marked on USGS maps as 3529.

Am I more wrong or less wrong?
