... and a little cruising on Google Earth; appears to be "9-mile Canyon Road", approaching 395.
Behind you is the Golden Trout Wilderness, ahead Owens Valley.
The road changes names a lot; Kennedy Meadows Road, Sherman Pass Road, ...
A VERY little known X-Sierra route between Tioga and Walker Passes.
Thanks for the clue (and yet ANOTHER road I have to check out in person someday)!
It's an all paved road -- although there are a few potholes. That photo above is the descent down into the Mojave Desert from cool meadows of the Sierra high country behind us...
Midwest Michael & I are the two Moderators I know who've been over the route. And Megan. Here are some more views:

It is pretty special. I've driven all of the paved of the Sierra passes doing research for a book. Very nice country!

I was tempted to suggest someplace in Yosemite, but how about Lookout Mountain in Georgia?
Mark
No, Not Lookout Mountain. Right side of the country, though.
That looks like Stone Mountain, GA.

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhh I was thinking "Stone Mountain" and wrote Lookout Mountain....
Mark
Well, Mark, Lookout Mountain IS in the northwest corner of Georgia (and adjacent TN and AL). The bare granite is the primary clue the pic is from Stone Mountain, though.
Foy
Correct -- it is Stone Mountain near Atlanta.

Looks like a navy fort someplace?
