I am driving back from Flagstaff to California with a friend and I am trying to decided what to do in five days on the way back.
I want to do Boundary and Montgomery, but I don't want to drive 10 hours and find that I can't get anywhere close to the trail-head in my car due to snow. Any ideas as to how far I will be able to drive with my Ford Tauras to either the Queens Creek TH or the Trail Canyon TH? Also, how doable is Boundary and Montgomery Peak in December (I would be going up there probably the 12th and 13th)?
My second option would be to go to the Spring Mountains and do Mt. Charleston, Griffith, Lee, and Mummy in a few days and then maybe head to J Tree after. That seems more logical and involves less driving, but I really want to get higher up north.
Any input would be appreciated!
