Horseshoe Meadows Rd in Lone Pine?
On the way home from Mammoth last weekend, we stopped for lunch in Lone Pine and I saw some switchbacks taunting me. Maybe it was withdrawals from not having my bike for a week, maybe it's because I didn't get close enough to see the road surface, but it looks like a fun and scenic climb. Has anybody ridden this road?

Yes, I did it a few years ago, and it's as good as it looks from the valley floor. I've also done the climb to Whitney Portal and the one up Onion Valley Rd in the same vicinity. Great climbs. Here's a link to good article about those three and other southern Sierra Nevada climbs.
