Hey guys, I've searched high and low for tips on good mountains to climb in April. I have snow shoes and a sled but the rest of my party will not be geared up for a snow climb. I'm looking for a good desert mountain to climb near northwest Arizona. (Within 3 or 4 hours). Difficulty should not be a huge issue, if it's too difficult I can leave my group at the base and summit solo. Thank you guys!

Tipton is okay, and Moapa is nice.

Depends on what you want in a climb. For just altitude, Mt Humpherys a few miles north of Flagstaff is easily accessible, and easily doable year round. For something technical, I could give you suggestions

Enjoy Havasupi. April is a perfect time to go

Hualapai Peak by Kingman and the surrounding summits are nice. Probably won't have too much snow. Navajo Mountain (just over the border in UT) is a really cool peak, but will be snowy higher up.

What is northwest? North of the Grand Canyon?
