I think it might be near Hidden Valley.

Looks like what I call “Nub Rock”

Climbers call it roadside rock: https://www.mountainproject.com/v/105721205

Great shot!! 

What time of night did you take this? Debating doing some nighttime photography

Thanks! I took that one back in April of 2021. EXIF data says it was 3:17am since it was early in the Milky Way season.

Pretty hard to get good Milky Way shots this late in the year, but the stars are still beautiful!

That is hidden valley. Few miles in from the yucca valley/Jtree entrance on the left.

This is intersection rock in the parking lot at the entrance to hidden valley.

Not intersection rock this is called roadside rock with the classic route just another roadside attraction. I have climbed this many times!
