OK, here's the thread. Now, someone post a photo and we'll play.

I'd say Three Sisters, but that's in Ory-gun.

Been a long time, and I'm sure i'm was off, but Mt St Helen's? Looks like a volcano in the middle...

edit: although 3 sisters looks more appropriate (never been there or heard of that place either).

Places gotta' be in NorCal. St. Helen's is in Washington state.

Can't be that, for the same reason it can't be Three Sisters.

Wow
Must say I'm stumped by the top view of three peaks.
My first guess would have been The Sisters also but thats not Kali.
The only two big volcanoes in our state are Lassen and Shasta. I think.

I know...... there's Mammoth and a bunch of dormants.
I'm guessing Lassen

It's Lassen. The give-aways are a reasonably-well-defined crater, and frozen-over Helen Lake down at the base of it.

Interesting.
When you drive over Lassen it doesn't seem as well defined.
I guess the snow caps help that out.
OK
Here's a couple.
The hint is the first picture.

The alignment OF the aerial shot you posted is REMARKABLY similar to the grouping at Lassen!
