Thanks for sharing - we did a very similar trip during the Memorial Day weekend (Prescott, Sedona, White Canyon, Oatman, and Lake Havasu on the way back)!
I understand completely :)
I don't think I ever did more than two of these trails back-to-back in one day. Cleghorn and Dishpan, or Dishpan and Holcomb Creek, or Gold Mtn and John Bull, etc.-but no more than two in a day.
Edit - just found the photo I was looking for...
Awesome! I wish I was there with you. With one exception - I won't do that hillclimb on 2N17X. Had a bad experience riding a stalled SJ Cherokee backwards from the very top to the very bottom, with a bunch of people and trucks scattered around.
The only thing I'd add is taking Rattlesnake...

Laws Railroad Museum
On the U.S.6, roughly halfway between Silver Canyon Rd. and Bishop, you can - and should - stop and visit another gem of Owens River Valley - Laws Railroad Museum. Our use of deontic modality in the previous sentence is not random - how often can one visit Henry Ford...
Benton Hot Springs
This was another first for us. After years of driving past the sign "Benton Crossing Road" near Mammoth Lakes or U.S.6 in Bishop, and thinking "there's got to be something interesting there," we took the first on our way home (to San Diego) from Mammoth Lakes. Of course, we...
Travertine Hot Springs
Imagine spending years watching evening news on CNN or Fox, and turning off your TV after getting bored in twenty minutes; and, all of a sudden, discover that there's a fresh episode of Top Gear right after the news - that you've been missing all these years?
Maybe with...
Ghost town of Bodie
"Good bye God, I'm going to Bodie,” wrote a little girl, departing with her family from San Francisco to the booming mining town of Bodie at some time in the third quarter of the 19th century. That must have been a fun place to go!
Google will dig you pretty much all...
Lake Mary Road
If you follow CA 203 into Mammoth Lakes to the intersection with Minaret Rd., keep going straight - the road becomes Lake Mary Rd. About 2.5 miles later you'll cross Mammoth Creek and arrive to Tamarack Lodge near Twin Lakes; in Summer, you can keep driving all the way up to Lake...
Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest
As you are slowly rolling South on U.S.395 at 26.5mph through downtown Bishop, watching the CHP cruiser in your rearview mirror, you are oblivious to the mountain chain to your left (East of Bishop). You may know that Mount Whitney is the highest point in the...
We've just came back from another short stint in the same area; I thought it would be more appropriate to continue the old topic, rather than create a new one.
The original plan was similar to the "Three-Day Escape" trip; but just as we started to shake down plans for another insane dash to...
