South Sister, Oregon?

Mt. Griggs in Alaska.
4
Don's got it. It's gotta be Griggs in summer.
5
Boo. Too easy if it was gotten that fast.
6
I was thinking more along the lines of Lonquimay or some other South American high desert volcano. BTW: Great site, I just found it a couple of weeks ago.
7
It is indeed Mount Giggs. I found the same exact picture myslef.
8
I downloaded the photo so I could zoom in and see a bit more detail. Heh heh......the Exif data for the pic clearly describes the image as "An aerial view of Mt. Griggs at the edge of the Valley of 100000 Smokes....."
Definitely an "oopsie" there, Dr. Klemetti. ;-)
9
Oops, I put in one too many zeroes. The Exif description does say "10000".
:-)

For what it's worth, I was able to identify the volcano without referring to the metadata. :-) The thick blanket of beige rhyolite ash on the lower slopes from the 1912 eruption of Novarupta is a dead giveaway.
