OK, this shouldn't be too difficult.
___________ Center?
Looks like the amusement park is more like a fair and not permanent. That's all I got. Im going sailing.
American Bank Center
And
USS Lexington at Corpus Christi
Savannah, GA.
The sign was a dead giveaway.
Haha, oops. I guess I should google my own signs next time. Apparently Jere Antiques has only one store and it's in Savannah.
OK, this is sort of a trick skyline, yes, that in itself is a clue. Looking for the name of the mountain,
extra points if you can name the lake too.
I'll wait a little longer for GF to confirm before posting the next one.
Okay....
Keeping with the mountain theme, this time I have chosen a hard one. I'll give hints as we go.
One of the three Sister's Peaks?
Or two of them?
That would be St Helens and Spirit Lake which is now completely destroyed after the eruptions. I'm not old enough to have seen it like that but I'm familiar with photos. It was one of the most beautiful lakes in the Cascade mountains.
This is pretty much what it looked like when I saw it in 2002.

Red rocks = Utah or Colorado?
Not those states. This is volcanic rock, not sedimentary.
Are you a geologist?

Here is a clue: This is a volcano, and it's in the U.S. which means it must be in one of the following states: Alaska, Washington, Oregon, California, or Hawaii.
I would venture to say 'no' to that, as "volcanic rock" is not a type of rock but a description of origin. Volcanic rock and sedimentary rock are not mutually exclusive; volcanic rock can and often leads to both metamorphic and sedimentary stratification. If indeed this rock is of volcanic origin (i.e. magma), then it would be more correct to say that the rock is not igneous instead of not sedimentary.
Anyhow, I have no guesses on this one.
Uhhh....what about all of the other states with volcanoes? Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, South Dakota, Idaho, Virginia, New Hampshire, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, and Texas all have at least one volcano.

I already had you guessed you as a geologist before this post.
I will be leaving New Hampshire out of the guessing though.
New Hampshire has a volcano? What does it spew, maple syrup?
I would venture to say 'no' to that, as "volcanic rock" is not a type of rock but a description of origin. Volcanic rock and sedimentary rock are not mutually exclusive; volcanic rock can and often leads to both metamorphic and sedimentary stratification, so going by looks alone it looks to have been stratified in some fashion.

Man.....that was tricky, good job.
Broken Top, final answer.
Finding a glacially eroded volcano peak was tougher than I thought. That is a pretty distinctive peak, yet I couldn't find any suitable images. Then I noticed where you are from and homed in around Bend, and voila.
I need to get up to the PNW more often.
