Heading south on US 95 there are a number of peaks in the middle distance. Mica Peak looks fairly conical and isolated, as does Mission Mountain, Prospect Mountain, and Gold Hill. The latter 3 are near Potlatch.

I've had a look at some of the peaks you suggest Foy and I'm not sure any are as 'distinctive' or snow-capped as this one (this was the height of summer - 3rd week of July).
However, as I'm still less that 100% certain of our route (all I know for sure is that this scene is somewhere between Coeur D'Alene, Idaho and Bend, Oregon) I think it's probably only fair to drop this request, after of course saying thanks for the suggestions.
That looks like it COULD be Mount Shasta.
Got to love this game ! When Peter first posted this puzzle I covered many a 'virtual' mile looking for this spot and the same with glc's. I am none the wiser at this point, but I have found so many places I wouldn't have done without this game.
With George's latest clue, I have been finding many interesting places in the Ozarks, Roaring river, Dogwood canyon, Hobbs state park and so on, but can't find that spot.
Don't think so, but how about Devils Den State park ? Didn't think so, need another clue !
Much closer to home than that, Dave.
...........it looks a lot like Grand falls on Shoal creek, Joplin ?
Exactly!!!
I can see where you're coming from (I've cropped my original image and upped the contrast so the shape is clearer) but I don't think it is.
We did head south from Bend on US 97, then past Crater Lake to the west on 62 before picking up US 199 to Crescent City, so at one point (probably around Shady Cove) we were maybe 80-90 miles north of Mt Shasta, but I don't think the sun-dried, rolling hills in the foreground are right for that part of southern Oregon.

My pic was taken on US-97 from the north, probably about 20 miles north of Weed.
Mount Adams maybe? Seen from around Yakima?
