You could do both of these in a single hike.

Chief is especially cool. The summit has some fun scrambling if you want.

Saxon Mtn and Griffith Mtn are directly above Georgetown, 4x4 road straight up from the lake and you can link the two together via Woodchuck Peak, some mine ruins to see.

Yes, Saxon and Griffith are a little bit of a hassle to find, but there's some great bristlecones near the top of there too.

Chief and Squaw are a little more on the beaten path, but they're good too. Especially for views.
