Visiting and looking for SoCAL trail suggestions
We are coming from Michigan to climb Mt. Whitney in Lone Pine, arriving Aug 7, and are looking for some good trail recommendations for upper-intermediate to advanced MTB riding. We've heard good things about Oakhurst and Kernville and rode Wilder Ranch and Black Mountain during our last trip.
We expect temperature to be a bit of an issue so we're looking for non-desert riding.
If you have any specific suggestions, please post. Thanks!

Between Whitney and Mammoth is Bishop. Lower Rock Creek is excellent. Haven't ridden the Upper Rock Creek, but hear it is very sandy if much more beautiful. Buttermilks just outside of Bishop are a maze of double-track at the base of the Sierra. Also, hit the opposite side of the Owens Valley, the Inyo Mountains and White Mountains. More double-track, but much more remote and adventurous.
Sorry, GR... The doctor has retired and moved back to Caladan. :P

Temperature is NEVER an issue in Southern California.
I've posted some GPS plots here:

that may help.
There is some epic riding here, you can't go wrong.
