Guess that peak

It will be the subject of likely my next trip report. I don't think its an easy one, but I left the road in the image to make it easier. Bonus as always if you can tell me the trail I took the photo from earlier today.

3270 from Santa Clara Divide Road?

No, though you are in the right neighborhood. What map exactly do you get your elevations from when referencing peaks or "bumps"?

Foreground has to be Bear Divide. Point 3200 perhaps?

You are so close, yet so far!
3270 I call "Birthday Peak" because I climbed it with my wife and our friend on her birthday this year....But alas, 3270 is not the peak in either my photo or your well-positioned google earth screenshot.

The 1995 USGS series. 3270' was my best guess. I lose.

Elwood wins. You can see the Clara Divide Rd cutting its way along the west flank. And Bear Divide is the best spot to do cookies and burn-outs for all the Fast and Furious types carving up The Little Tujunga Rd on weekends... (aka the posters on this forum, right?)
Oh, the bonus should be pretty easy.
