Here is a view from an old lookout site:

Rob, to me, that looks like Mount Mitchell from the south. So I would say that the photo was taken  from Oak Grove Butte. But I have a problem with that because I don't remember you saying that you had been up there before. Anyhow that is my guess.

It was not taken from the top of Oak Grove Butte.  I should have said it was taken from an existing official trail that is in a new wilderness area.  I'm not sure what the peak is, but I don't think it is Oak Grove Butte.  This trail is farther north.

Just a guess here.  Is that the lookout site on the Shining Lake trail?

You are correct, Doug.  It was taken several years ago, but it was somewhere at the end of the Shining Lake Trail where the old lookout was (along Indian Ridge).  Your turn!
