ideas:
daniel circumnavigation with side trip up hinman: timing notes: i'm thinking early august unless fires change the timing. may need to be late june/early july
magic + hurry-up - timing notes: late season cache col can have issues. my late aug trip up magic went flawlessly

south twin sister & north twin sister:
gunn + tailgunner +gunnshy +wing: timing notes: lots of color and pleasant travel in the fall
