Oh yeah, there is a number of bumps on this spine, but only two are triangular shaped. Very curious remnants...

Well from the view, I'd guess it's High Rock.  Never been there, but I've seen that basic view before.

Thats the rock formations between the Signal Buttes in the Roaring River Wilderness. They are pretty cool and I would like to campout there sometime during the summer months as long as there wasn't any threats of lightning at the time.

I hiked out there the last time this last fall during a rainstorm with Rob and Kirk, but I didn't take any photos. I believe Rob has some photos of our adventure. It was my second time out there. The first time was back in the 80's when I bushwacked out there. This last time we came out on the Cougar Creek Trail and cutoff when the trail went down into the canyon and we headed towards the southern most butte. The funny thing was that I started both hikes from the same point, a wide spot in the 240 spur road out to Frazier Turnaround.

I didn't learn that, that spot was the trailhead of the Cougar Creek Trail until a few years ago when Donavon pointed it out to me. I have been working on locating that trail ever since, and I am about 80% done. Maybe this year I will be able to connect the segments. Anyone want to go on an adventure, I think that there are only 1-2 miles of trail left to locate.  I only spent one day down there last year and that was the day before we hiked out to the Signal Buttes.

It takes a little bit of bushwacking to get out there, but it is well worth the time.

Yes, you are correct. That is one of the formations between the Signal Buttes...

How about this adventure...I've always wanted to start at the south butte, and drop into the head waters of the Roaring River...and hike, scramble, bushwhack, rappel...whatever it took, to get to the highway, where I'd park a second car. I'd actually plan for a night out.

Here is the link to the photos (I only took 7 – it wasn't a great day, weather wise)

 

I think this one is the picture of the outcropping you posted, although the two triangular ones looked very similar.  Very cool place, and had it been a clearer day, you would have QUITE a view from up there.
