Longhorn
I think it is a hardwood stump borer (female).

Looks like a Prionus,
male with these large antennae. Not sure which species. Beautiful specimen!

A guess
but I would venture laticollis or pocularis.

Yes, and
there are records for Madera Canyon of both P. californicus and P. heroicus. At this point I don't know the diagnostic characters to differentiate the two. Well, perhaps heroicus since this specimen appears to lack the median furrow on the head as in californicus. Or? Still guessing...
