Advice for April

Postby EastcoastMike » Tue Oct 12, 2010 5:26 pm

I have 10 days off in April, April 15-25. I'd like to fly somewhere and do some great hiking. I am not a rock or ice climber so I'm not looking to do anything beyond class 3. I am ok with winter conditions (snowshoeing or x country skiing) but I'm not lookign for anything particularly dangerous. Does anyone have any ideas of places that would be nice that time of year?

Mohave Desert, Sonora Desert, Owens Valley, and more. Skiing the Sierra is great for longer ski tours, snowshoeing, it gets to be tedious if you ask me. NV, sometimes nice about Reno, Vegas is good. Most everywhere else in the Pac W it gets bitter cold at night w rain/snow and all. Though, the CA coast range is still nice and green with wildflowers, Big Sur, North Coast can be good.
