I was going to suggest “Mare Imbrium”, but something tells me that the trees are not quite right for that...

How long is this thread going to have to be before we get the answer?

That is my guess as well. You can see the road to the top.

Mt Kilamanjaro?
Not sure if I spelled that right...

Not sure of anything from this photo, but it reminds me of the Grand Tetons in Wyoming for some reason.

cogitator must have gone to bed. I went to bed last night expecting the answer this morning. Will keep checking.

KarlInOhio nailed it; it's Mulhacen in the far southern region of Spain (Andalusia). The reason it's unique is that it's the highest point in Spain (the part that's attached to Europe), and it's not in the Pyrenees, where a lot of people -- like me -- would have thought the highest point in Spain would probably be. But because the Canary Islands are part of Spain and because the volcano Pico de Teide in the Canary Islands is higher than Mulhacen, the highest point in Spain isn't on the mainland, kinda like the highest point in the United States isn't in the lower 48.
Use Panoramio to zoom into southern Spain, and you'll see a small snow-covered region. That's Mulhacen. Or click on the link that KarlInOhio provided to Wikipedia to get the location. Like I said -- it's a surprise.

The junipers should have tipped me off.
Please, please keep me on your ping list.
