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?

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!

Does this photo predate the Station Fire, and if so would this photo look different now?

If it was, I think it would look different
hint: chaparral ends ~ 6000-6500' altitude

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?

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)

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

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

Not Condor. And even more wrong.
It's a zoomed in picture. I'll post the non-zoomed pic if no correct guesses.

Not Clamshell.
Obscure and probably useless hint: picture taken from a point marked on USGS maps as 3529.
