Yep, it's The Castles. I flipped the OP's photo horizontally and it becomes very easy to see. Very cool formation.

Re: Name that Mtn/Rock
Castles it is, curious as to where it was taken as I have never seen an image of them with trees creeping so high up the towers.
Still need to get back there myself, someone's recent TR with dead cows up the trail scared me off this year, I don't want to camp near that

Re: Name that Mtn/Rock
Oops, slow to circle back on this. I'm not certain where the photo was taken from. A friend asked me and I knew this site w/b quick with an answer.geojed wrote:If the OP could say where this was taken from that would clear everything up.
I appreciate everyone's help/comments! Looks like a sweet spot to check out...
