Concur with others. From 4 Corners to Lone Pine not so much to do driving. Dependent upon time and your schedule, Lunch at the LonePine airport used to be all right. I don't think it's worth deviating out of your way but if you're really bored at Ridgecrest head past Trona to see Charlie Manson's ranch house.
I flew out of China Lake for years. On new guy area fam flights, I'd show them the old resorts, run low level up the Kern river, hit the weird rock formations near Trona (opening scenes from 1960s show Lost in Space), Manson Ranch (Bishop was where the trial was held) and the hot springs. Weird ohs would drive up in RVs to sit naked in these hot springs. I used to drop below 100 feet and hold over 500 knots try to scare the crap out of them. Then I'd drop the gear and hook for a slow pass and they'd all run for cameras, but they'd become "sugar cookies" with jet blast, sand and sun screen all mixed. Not much in my opinion along 395 but the other travelers.
