Does anyone recognize this peak?

I can't find it in Google Earth for the life of me. I believe it may be near Estes Park/ Roosevelt National Park/ RMNP.

Sorry for the low-res image, it's all I had. Any help would be much appreciated!

My first reaction without checking it out is chalk creek, south side of Princeton.

It can't be Chalk Creek. It must be looking east because there is more snow on the left, the north face, and it is somewhat melted off the right side.

Doesn't look similar.

Seems like the power line cut-through on the left side should be a big hint.

Could it be taken from I-70 between Copper Mountain and Frisco?
I'm old, slow and fat. Unfortunately, those are my good qualities.

OP, with about 30 seconds of searching his website, I found his email address at the bottom of this page...

Email him and ask.

I just assumed Garrett Kroll was the OP.

It's actually an old photo of my dad's- I was hoping to do some hiking & climbing around there once I found it. I know he liked to hike around northern colorado, so that was my first instinct. And yea, that photo's hosted on my site :)

Thanks for the help guys.

I though it looked like I-70 corridor west of georgetown looking east.
