A basecamp/dayhike week further to the south.

Hey ya'll,
I broke my shoulder this summer. Lame I know. And while I can't backpack , or work , I can dayhike. Last week I spent time on Hwy 4 and 108. And in a few days I'm off for another ~8 days.
Where to? I want to skip Yosemite due to the crowds. So, I'm looking for suggestions south of Yosemite. I can't use my left arm, so no scrambles. I'm looking for suggestions. Ideally, a place would have multiple great dayhikes in a close vicinity, then another ~2hr drive to another places with more great hiking.
Places off 395 seem like the logical choice. Though it's often just one trail from each trailhead. How about on the west side? I'm done most of the trails from Cedar Grove. The Generals Highway seems like it might suit me, not sure how much time I've been down there. But will I be able to satisfy my desire for high country terrain on ~10-15mi dayhikes?
Any suggestions? It's time to get some!
