Does anyone know where this photo might have been take. I believe it is local, like I-90 or hwy 2. The scan is a bit fuzzy. There is a river at the bottom and a waterfall going down the slope.
 what mountain

It's a slide my dad took probably in the late 1960's from a road.

I think it's behind Showgirls off of I-90.

I know it isn't behind Deja Vu in north Seattle.

- The snow covered slope above is angled typical of a volcanic cleaver.
- The cornice is shadowed toward the lens; probably a view looking west.
- Ridge top looks recently clear cut; that rules out Rainier.
- The rivers color hints of glacial till; Milky glacial fed.
- The river course flows straight; again typical of soft volcanic debris.
- A slight hint of a road this side of the river.
- Vegetation suggests Cascade west slope climate.
…And I have know idea! 
Find another slide with the same date.

...or the Liberty Lasses by Blewett Pass. In the slide itself you can actually see the ladies but my $50 scanner seems to filter them into pine trees and naturey collage. Yes....it does. Sorry about that. You're battling technology here.

Well, it could certainly be northwest, but I know few roadside rivers around these parts that are that colored. I'd be inclined to say it's somewhere in BC.

It reminds me of the route between Chilliwack and Hedley BC.
Just a wild guess

It's pretty safe to say that if we take all of man kinds accumulated knowledge, we still don't know everything. So, I hope you understand why I don't believe you know everything. But then again, maybe you do.

Could be. The snowy peak bit looks like it could be a piece of Cheam. But the river is in the wrong place for that to be true (plus, the Frazier isn't that color). I'd say possibly the Squamish / Elaho River valley with a chunk of the Tantalus Range in the background.

The first two look pretty temporary to me. The last one is Bijoux Falls up somewhere around Monkman PP (no map in front of me, so I may be a little off, but it's somewhere north of Wells Gray). Nice pics.

It could be on Camaino Island or it could be at the mustang ranch in Nevada, in any case, I like the brushy patches.
