OK, since no one else is guessing, I'm going to make another stab.  Hawk Mountain?  That looks like it would work, but I never remember seeing a tree like that up there.

Close.

You cab get there by trail from where you are.

I'll make a guess - up a little south of Mt. Lowe

That was an excellent guess Byron. Precisely correct.

There is a small area of high alpine flora up there. Krumholz type stuff.

Your turn to challenge up next.

I couldn't remember that exact tree, but I remember ones like it south of Mount Lowe. Hence it was a guess.

The long-abandoned trail in this picture crosses this valley just in front of the isolated Alaska cedar that is left of center. By this point the trail is already within the Wilderness area.

You can see high-water-mark horizontal-oriented woody debris in the foreground.
